The Be Foundation

Welcome to The Be Foundation's (TBF's) Channel, we are a globally-connected, community-based organisation centred on Barbuda. TBF works to restore and empower the community, strengthen services to meet the needs of Barbudans, build networks of opportunity, and transform lives. The passage of Hurricane Irma on September 6, 2017, impacted the island of Barbuda and the lives of Barbudans in significant and unprecedented ways. The storm unearthed wide-spread challenges to restoration, yet heightened the resolve of this strong community to press forward towards a promising future. Barbuda is poised to move forward stronger than it was before, with the vision and voices of Barbudans at the centre of its development.
