ABOUT US
  Education in Belize

The Belize Government does not have sufficient funds to fully support the education system, but pays the teachers' salaries. The Claretians' charity, administered by the Claretian Missionaries Trust based in Buckden Towers, set up a mission in Belize in 2003. Fr. Chris and Fr. Dominic help the people with their everyday lives in the Dangriga region of Belize. Through the 'Children in Belize' part of this charity we are now playing an important role in the education of the children.

The Dangriga parish covers an area of 60x40 miles. It is mostly rural and includes major agricultural lands and the forested foothills of the Maya Mountains. Within the Dangriga parish there are 15 primary schools with over 4000 students. The education system is open to all children. The 'Children in Belize' charity assists by providing buildings and their renovation, sanitation services, electricity supplies, books and other financial support.

The 'Children in Belize' Appeal

The 'Children in Belize' appeal, administered by the Claretian Missionary Trust of Buckden Towers, focuses specifically on the educational needs of the children. The goal is to continue raising vital funding which will be spent directly in the schools. The Claretian Missionaries Trust is a Registered Charity No. 234026 

Kimbolton Charity Ride - OUR GOAL

Our goal for the Kimbolton Charity Ride is to raise money, through entry fees and sponsorship collected by our riders, and to donate ALL proceeds directly to the 'Children in Belize' appeal. We have set up a committee of volunteers from the local community to organize a safe and enjoyable day out for all the family.
