Garifuna Culture survival initiative
My proposal is basically aiming to strengthen a platform that has already been in place for the younger generation and older folk to get more in tune with their cultural whilst making it a business which they can sustain themselves from using it as source of income. At the same time learning more about the Garifuna culture.

- Poverty, impacted by lock of education, viable employment,positive mentors and heathy organizations activities attributes to our local youth in Belize becoming vulnerable to violent and crime. 38.8% of the population in Belize are under the age of 15. That percentage seems higher in the village of Hopkins. While over 90% of youth in Belize finish primary school This leaves many 17-21 year olds not active in school and unable to obtain employment. Crime and violence are prevalent amongst vulnerable youths and are not only on the rise in Hopkins but all of Belize and I want to change the statistics to see how best I could help in a positive way starting from my beautiful village.i
