Restore Hope Foundation has thus far:
- Provided support to Bahamas Power & Light to accelerate installation of a replacement electricity supply structure. We funded the initial fuel requirement for an on-island generator that hooked up with the new under-ground lines
- Funded extensive clean-up of public areas across the island
- Funded rebuilding of the Hope Town medical clinic
- Funded restoration of the children’s play-ground and the library
- Funded rebuilding of the Public Restrooms
- As part of the Hope Town Harbour clean-up, funded removal of abandoned boats and marine debris
- Helped with restoration of the Hope Town Museum
- Undertaken extensive landscaping and re-planting
Together with other established non-profit organizations
- Hope Town Primary school
- Hope Town Community Center
- Hope Town Harbour clean-up
We have applied over $1,600,000 on these initiatives. We have some funds in hand and estimate we need to raise another $800,000 to really get the island in tidy shape although to rebuild the Old Police Station and support restoration of the Lighthouse will take more.
What more do we need to do?
- Continuing replanting and landscaping
- Supporting the return of small businesses
- Further efforts to remove blight
- Rebuilding incidental community buildings such as the Burial Society
All projects need our help. If you live on the island, if you visit the island, if you are a second – homeowner – help get this magical place back in shape!
