Our Mandate
Andre Phillip
TBF’s interventions support Barbuda by:
-
Empowering the voices of Barbudans to advocate for social change;
-
Identifying global opportunities for community involvement;
-
Engaging organisations, community leaders, and citizens to ensure authentic participation and shared decision-making.
-
Fundraising and resource mobilisation; and
-
Gaining access to advance capital investment and business growth.
TBF will be responsive to the issues and needs of Barbuda and Barbudans as the island develops post-Hurricane Irma. In the infancy of our organisation, we’ve established Foundational Areas of Focus to help guide our work:
