ABOUT US
Founded as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Belize Children & Elderly Care Foundation is dedicated to transforming the lives of orphans, single-parent children, impoverished seniors, and individuals with disabilities across Belize and the United States. We believe every child deserves a safe home, every elder deserves dignity, and no one should face hunger, illness, or isolation alone.

Our Mission:
To provide comprehensive, compassionate care that meets the essential needs — nourishment, health, education, transportation, and safe housing — for vulnerable children and elderly populations. We partner with local health organizations, Shriners Hospitals, schools, charities, and medical centers in both Belize and the U.S. to deliver holistic support that fosters long-term well-being and resilience.
Our Vision
A world where no child grows up without love — and no elder ages without dignity.
We strive to create permanent, loving homes for children and elderly in our care whenever possible. For those who remain in our facilities, we ensure they are:
-
Well-nourished
-
Medically cared for
-
Clothed and comfortable
-
Educated and empowered
-
Surrounded by joy and compassion
Beyond Care: Building Brighter Futures
Every child and elderly person deserves care, respect, and support. We are committed to making a positive impact on their lives.

Sustainable Living & Self-Reliance
We’re investing in the future through sustainable farming initiatives and vocational training programs. By teaching practical skills — from organic gardening to skilled trades — we equip youth and seniors with the tools to thrive independently, reduce dependency, and build self-sustaining communities.
Health Education for Stronger Communities
We don’t just get people to treatment — we also work to prevent the need for it. Our community outreach programs teach children and families about:
-
Safe water practices
-
Home-based wellness practices
-
Preventive healthcare for common illnesses
These lessons empower entire neighborhoods to break cycles of disease and poverty.
Partnerships That Matter
We work hand-in-hand with trusted institutions including:
-
Shriners Hospitals for Children
-
Local Belizean clinics and schools
-
U.S.-based charitable organizations
-
Community health advocates
Together, we stretch every dollar further and deliver care where it’s needed most.
