Our Projects

Every year, two clinics are hosted to identify new cases of Congenital Heart Disease. We are very proud of this program’s continued achievements and as a visiting nurse once pointed out, Belize is the only country where our Rotary Club is responsible for helping 100% of the country’s children with Congenital Heart Disease.

BERT was established in 1998 with the help of the Wagner Foundation of Wisconsin, USA and concerned Rotarians (Arsenio Burgos, John Woods, Philip Zuniga, Yvette Burks, Marcelo Coyi MD). It is a non-profit, non-governmental organization.

BERT provides ambulatory care (both land and air) and EMT training services for Belize.

To date, most of the Board members are Rotarians. Click here to visit our website

In 2001, Rotarian John Woods was asked by the then Minister of Prisons to bring together a group of business persons in an effort to identify ways to improve The Belize Central Prison. Naturally, John approached fellow Rotarians for help.

This eventually led to the formation of the Kolbe Foundation. It is the only known, privately managed non-profit prison in the world.

Kolbe Foundation has made tremendous success by keeping to its mission of maintaining a secure and humane facility geared towards meaningful rehabilitation and reintegration.

To date, most of the Board members remain Rotarians.Click here to visit our website
