Organizations We Support

 

 

 

 

 

The following organizations are those who Bene Caribe have developed relationships with and continue to find ways to collaborate on special projects. 

 

 

 

 The Backpack Project is a non-profit initiative aimed at promoting health and education among Caribbean students between the ages of 5 to 18. This project, which was started in December 2008, assists students of impoverished families to pursue their educational goals.

Pre-packaged backpacks containing school and personal supplies are sent confidentially to students, to provide them with the educational resources they need such as books and stationery, as well as items to assist with personal hygiene. Students are identified by Caribbean educators who notify the organization of their needs. Backpacks are then assembled and sent to the students. 

The Backpack Project seeks backpack donors and sponsors annually: Learn more at http://www.backpackproject.ca/
