About
Us
Caribbean With Purpose is a non-profit organization that strives to combat illiteracy in the Caribbean by partnering with local communities and schools to support the progression of reading and academic achievement amongst students. We strongly believe in the educational and developmental benefits ignited by immersing children in a world of literary to advance creativity, confidence, and imagination. Our efforts begin with a customized approach for each community we serve beginning with access to books and literary resources, followed by continuing professional development for educators, merit programs and awards, and access to technological tools.

what we do
We understand that providing access to literary works alone is great, but will not result in substantial impact. Therefore, in addition to great books, each Book Cove is programmed to invest in the long-term development of students, teachers, and parents.
INVEST IN STUDENTS
Beyond access to great books, each student will have the opportunity to envision a future of endless possibilities through:
- Career exposure and development.
- Merit programs that reward success in reading and writing.
- Scholarships and internships for higher education.
Resource Teachers
A partnership with administrators and educators are each school is an essential element to the success of each Book Cove and includes:
- Professional training and development.
- Classroom tools and resources.
- Appreciation and recognition for exemplary teachers
PARTNER WITH COMMUNITY
A child’s prospects for the future increase when they have support from parents at home. Our goal is simply to:
- Help parents understand how they can support their child’s learning.
- Provide workshops for the continuing education of parents.
- Partner with organizations that can support families that lack the basic needed resources for survival.
