Anguilla / Charity Support
It is easy to forget, particularly while enjoying Anguilla’s splendour, that the majority of West Indians do not live the easy life that most visitors go there to experience for a week or two a year. Islanders have to deal with the same social problems as people anywhere else in the world. Problems which are made worse at the moment by the social upheaval the islands are undergoing as they develop so quickly. Anguilla itself has seen unprecedented change over the past 20 years and the knock-on effects on the family and community are sometimes hard to see. Anguilla has been lucky in some respects because it has been very successful, but the benefits don’t reach everyone. The Anguillians’ easy-going nature may belie the difficulties that many of them face.
DefinitiveCaribbean has selected the Anguilla Community Foundation as the charity to support on the island. The organisation, which was was formed in 1999, is devoted to improving the quality of life on the island by making grants to those in need through its Anguilla Cares Programme and by assisting NGOs that wish to work in the island by providing vehicles for tax-deductible contributions. Anguilla has many wealthy home-owners of course, many of whom have already contributed, but there is an ongoing need for assistance to help them put their programmes in place. In addition to specific grants, the Foundation’s ultimate aim is to raise an endowment fund, the interest from which can be used to make grants to community programmes and those in need.
