Location of our Projects
The Children's Home is about 20 minutes from Belize City and in the same region the Caribbean Wildlife Centre is based about 45 minutes drive from Belize City in 29 acres of Belizian tropical savannah.
The Reef Conservation project is based on Hunting Caye, a small island in the Sapodilla Cayes reef system - one of a number of marine reserves off the coast of Belize.
Belize is a beautiful English speaking Caribbean country covered in huge swathes of rainforest and a spectacular marine enviroment.
Read what some of our volunteers say...
"I spent a lot of time with Jamal who pulled together a lot of the promotional bits and pieces and helped him out on a couple of things using my Design background. I was also helping with the animals which I really enjoyed. There were some amazing animals and to be able to get so close and personal with them is great. They all have such good enclosures and are so well looked after by all the keepers, who you can tell really care for them and have their favourites."
