Our Projects
NATURE NURTURES PROJECT
The Nature Nurtures project is sponsored by the Government of the Netherlands through the R4CR (Resources for Community Resilience) in their bid to support local businesses that were greatly affected by IRMA in 2017. This project is developed in order to avail the students of the No Kidding With Our Kids Foundation the opportunity to learn practical agriculture. The project started in September 2022. Check out our Presse/Media Page to follow the developments.
​
The Nature Nurtures project is set up due to the following reasons:
​
-
To encourage the students of the No Kidding With Our Kids Foundation to further expand their knowledge through practical agriculture farming methods like the Aquaponic system, the Hydroponic system, and the Organic system of farming in one location.
​​
-
Collaboration with the White and Yellow Cross Care Foundation (which is a few meters away from our farm location) by making our location available for visitations, extra-curricular activities, and training free of charge.
​​
-
We provide healthy and organic locally grown vegetables and fruits to some families in need on a monthly basis at no cost
​​
-
Remembering the bereaved and understanding the healing power of nature we are collaborating with those who are mourning the loss of a loved one by giving them the opportunity to tune in to nature for their healing
​​
-
Because we understand the culture of St. Maarten, we inculcate our practical knowledge in our youth by collaborating with local schools for field trips and educational tours at a minimal cost.
​​
-
Tourists are also welcome.

EXTRA CURRICULUM SUSTAINABLE PROJECT
A program where the children get the opportunity to discover their hidden talents. A very creative way to express themselves through creative dance, art, and much more.
The extra curriculum activities for the children are needed to further equip them in developing skills that they will benefit from for the rest of their lives and which will have in its turn a great impact on the society they are part of.
Our experience shows that children have a lot of hidden talents. By giving them this opportunity, they discover what they are capable of. This program has been financed by Fundacion Konstrui Awe I Manan for several years.
SPONSOR A CHILD PROJECT
In our afterschool program, we have children attending from all different socio-economic backgrounds. However, not all of them have the means to pay the monthly fee.
​
Hurricane Irma in 2017 followed by the pandemic in 2019, making it much more difficult for parents. Besides their financial situation, the children also dropped back in their education. The demand for having children in a program where they are supervised, guided, and motivated is very high. Our program provides all this and more.
Our focus is to help as many children regardless if they can pay the fee in full or not. With that said, we offer the community the opportunity to support these children. If you are interested please contact us.
