About us

Who we are

The current donor to Help for Progress’s work is the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). We have been an implementing partner for UNHCR’s program in Belize since 1999.

Other main partners are:

 

Small Business Development Center of BELTRAIDE (SBDC),

Cayo Center for Employment Training (CET),

4-H Pre-Vocational Training Center

Hope Counselling Corner

Belize Family Life Association (BFLA),

Department of Youth Services, and Young Women’s’ Christian Association (YWCA)

UNHCR’s and our Partner’s funding is invaluable.

Our approach

Our Mission

Help for Progress aims to improve livelihoods and self-sustainability for individuals, organized groups, and communities. 

We assist and advocate for the reduction of poverty and the inclusion of all diversities, we are environmentally conscious and support the conservation of our natural resources. We conduct skills training, project development, source funding, and promote networking with other civil society organizations.

Our Vision

An inclusive society that promotes entrepreneurship reduces dependency, improves livelihoods, and supports the conservation of the environment.

Our entire team wants to see a country where every one struggling in any way feels able to reach out and has people who’ll help them with education, jobs, and more. We want to spread out in every region so we’ll be reachable to all.
