Every child and young person deserves opportunities to learn, grow and thrive.
The Brenda Strafford Foundation works alongside community organizations and partners to strengthen the systems and supports that contribute to children's long-term wellbeing. Our work focuses on preventative, community-based approaches to nutrition, learning, resilience and early education, with particular attention to opportunities where collaboration and strategic investment can make a meaningful difference.
Through Impact 2030, we are advancing initiatives that strengthen the systems, supports and opportunities that help children and young people learn, grow and thrive.
Through the Strong Foundations: Youth Nutrition, Resilience & Life Skills Initiative, BSF is working with the Children's Cottage Society and community partners to support accessible, culturally responsive learning that builds food literacy, life skills, resilience, leadership and confidence.
We are working to strengthen the community ecosystem supporting children and youth by identifying unmet needs, connecting organizations, improving access and coordination, building community capacity and investing in evidence-informed approaches.
We are exploring opportunities to strengthen coordinated services and supports for children and youth with diverse and complex needs, helping build community capacity to respond to a range of experiences and circumstances.
We are assessing emerging evidence, community needs and partnership opportunities to inform our long-term approach to child nutrition and early education in the Caribbean, including opportunities related to nutrition in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and school attendance in Haiti.
