One of the selected charities, Bahamas Urban Youth Development Centre is a non-profit organisation which empowers young people, especially those involved in commercial sex work, to make safe, healthy choices. Executive Director Prodesta Moore was ecstatic to find her organisation was chosen and said the funds would be used to bring the centre’s services to the family islands.
“We are very excited to receive this donation from BTC,” Mrs Moore said. “Our current international grants end in May so we are beginning a search to establish local funding and BTC is one of the first corporate donors to step up. We are based in Grand Bahama and New Providence currently but we hope to expand to Abaco and Eleuthera. These funds will help us to increase our reach and services; they will go a long way.”
