We provide support to under-served members of our community with education, nature care and conservation, food security and growing, aspiring for legacy creation.

Over lockdown, as the pandemic impacted us in Trinidad & Tobago just as it has around the world, we have been responding to urgent needs for food and items to keep families well as work became impossible for many and state support was not always available. We successfully achieved 1175 Food Hampers Delivered (Mar 28 to December 31st 2020) including over 200 Baby Care Packages and Elder Care Packages. Each hamper lasts a family for some time (3-6 weeks).

In this time, we had to close down much of our public-facing activity and have not been able to generate income as we usually do.

The focus now is to get our centre up and running so we can begin to generate income again and cover more ground.

In addition we are directing funds as follows:

About the Foundation

The Foundation for Heritage Preservation & Legacy Creation is a NGO/NPO incorporated in 2008 in the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago. This Foundation is solely for providing programmes geared toward Heritage Preservation, Nation Building as well as skills geared toward Life Mastery, Personal Development and Abundant Living.

We work with members of our society, particularly children, youth, women, the differently abled and the elderly so as to enable them to reach their full potential and create a Legacy while ensuring a continuation of our Heritage.

Our activities include educating, teaching & developing members of our society & raising funds to support the said activities.

Aleeyah Amanda Ali is the Co- Founder and President of this organisation.

She started this Foundation to formalize and expand her voluntary Community & School activities based on the past 30 years community service and past 24 years on her return to Trinidad & Tobago after completing her studies in the UK & Canada. She has been working in Trinidad & Tobago as An Arts Education & Career Guidance Facilitator voluntarily. For Primary Schools, Libraries, Community Activities & Events, she has been working as Children’s Character; Redzi…the Trini Clown with plenty Tobago flavor!!! A character she Conceptualized, Developed, Perform as & Manage (including Costume & Set Design)

For the past 23 years she has worked in Schools, Community Events and NALIS - St James Library conducting a series of Edu-Cultural Interactive Workshops entitled “Discovering Redzi’s World” voluntarily. This series was extended to the Diego Martin Library by invitation of NALIS. The programme has had overwhelming response and has been praised for its successful delivery of Educational, Cultural and Environmental / Climate lessons as well as Nation Building by Library Staff, Teachers, Parents and children because of the creative use of a Magical Portable Children’s Set and Props; sessions also include Music and Musical Instruments, Cultural Artifacts, Puppetry, Story Telling, Slide show presentations and Live Animals.

A team of qualified dedicated like minded individuals have joined in the work we are doing in the Community. Our Santa Rosa Heritage & Learning Resource Center & Kulturkafe launch Easter 2020... was postponed in February and ALL OUR RESOURCES WERE TURNED TOWARD EMERGENCY MEDICAL SUPPLIES, FRESH FOOD AND DRY GOODS FOR OVER 500 FAMILIES IN DIRE NEED OF SUPPLIES....

Your support will help us keep our projects going, and allow us to continue to support rescue animals, communities and individuals in this challenging time.

THANK YOU!

Do share and all donations however small are very welcome.

Sarah Dixon is based in the UK and is a former schoolmate of Amanda, supporting the project and the transfer of funds from this fundraiser to Trinidad.
