HOW WE HELP OUR ISLANDS

LOCAL COMMUNITY TESTIMONIALS

MBW was founded in 2007 to provide hope, healing and purpose to at-risk and high risk youth in the USVI. Very shortly after being founded, the India Association began supporting MBW.

Since then, over 1300 young men and women have found a better life path through the mentoring, education, mental health counseling, on-the-job training and job placement MBW has been able to provide through supporters such as the India Association.

After Hurricanes Irma and Maria, the India Association stepped up to help MBW prepare and serve over 37,000 meals through our Hurricane Response and when MBW responded to the Covid-19 pandemic by providing meals to the vulnerable population in the USVI, the India Association was there again ready and willing to serve and support.

We are so very grateful for the continued support. From all of us at MBW, Thank You!
