Feelgood news of the day.  The BNE Charitable Trust is expanding the Student Loan Program considerably.  Thanks, BNE!

 

"The Belize Natural Energy Charitable Trust announces the expansion of its national Student Loan Program.  The Student Loan Program is a partnership with local credit unions and started as a pilot initiative in April 2009 when the Trust seeded an initial investment of $1 million dollars.  This pilot has yielded loan facilities to over 600 Belizean students pursuing secondary and tertiary education at local institutions throughout the country.  Today, the Belize Natural Energy Charitable Trust is pleased to announce an additional investment of $1.5 million dollars to scale up and expand the program, thereby bringing its total investment to $2.5 million."
