Teachers for a Better Belize is a partnership of volunteer educators from the U.S. and Belize who organize teacher-training workshops and distribute school supplies in the Toledo region of Belize. Toledo--home to the majority of the country's Mayan population--is Belize's poorest region. TFABB aims to equip Toledo's elementary-school teachers with the training and supplies they need to help their students achieve educational success and broaden their later opportunities. TFABB hopes that by empowering Toledo's teachers to increase the number of children who finish elemetary school its efforts will help break the cycle of poverty and dependency that plagues the region's villages.
