Supporting Schools in our Belizean Communities

Dangriga Elementary Schools

Elementary schools in Dangriga serve students aged three to fourteen and are located just a short walk from our operations office. Many of our staff members have children attending these schools, making them an important part of our daily lives. We’re proud to support the schools that plays such a meaningful role in our community and the families we work with.

This tiny, friendly hamlet is a blend of several Belizean ethnicities.  It’s a peaceful, quiet village in a rural agricultural setting.  Many of the villagers have tourism jobs in Hopkins, Bocawina or Dangriga.

Santa Teresa Village is situated in the heart of the Maya homeland in the Toledo district of southern Belize. We work with local Maya guides to run trips in this remote area of the country.
