Inside Belize's Poverty Cycle

Chapter 4/4 - We sit down with Manuel - the director of Childrens Cup in Belize - to find out more about the country and the issues it faces, as well as how Childrens Cup is helping to break the poverty cycle in the country. We also explore the community of Port Layola where we meet some local kids who share about their life in the heart of Belize City.

What's Our Purpose?
The vision of this channel is to connect an audience at home to the culture, community, and lifestyle of those we meet on our journeys, ultimately creating a feeling of friendship with the characters we meet with the audience. We highlight aspects of their food, culturural differences, history, population & language but also learn how we are all so similar.

As a Belizean I really appreciate people like Manuel. He came from El Salvador to make Belize his home. What loss for El Salvador. What gain for Belize.

[@MoreThanYourself]

He is incredible! We are very blessed to know him.

[@Neuvalence]

Belizean here- i’ve known of the poverty issue, but never seen it from this perspective. Very insightful

[@Huggy-Luv737]

This is really great what u guys doing much needed love for the kids and like i have alwasy preached it starts with parenting and absent fathers,I was partly a councilor in highschl and sadly around 7-8 out every ten girls said they were molested or touched and its alarming because thats a high number stepfathers or worse sadly their own dads sometimew but the more help and awareness that can spread about the situation the better for pur future God bless u guys n keep uo the good work🫡🙏

Around 10:01 the little boy says, "Mek i show yuh how fi hol it" -- Make me show you how to hold it (the mic)

[@windellbahadur8823]

Drugs rum guns and gangs are plentiful here what we need is a solid government and good parenting so we could develop this country we have lot of resources Alot

[@ryboooooo9884]

Beautiful video 🫶🏽

[@ednadiaz4193]

The serious problems we see in Belize is not solely the fault and responsibility of the parents but the society as a whole. It is a reflection of the failure of government and the society to provide the environment for growth and success. Lack of commitment. Corruption breeds many woes and spreads its tentacles into all corners of our society.

[@beltigussin81]

Uko Kawakadisha😅😢 The kid said "You could call her Kadisha"

[@MoreThanYourself]

Thank you so much! :) I was struggling for sure trying to keep up.

[@beltigussin81]

Hello. How can I donate to Children's cup. A Belizean abroad.

[@messibetter7216]

realistically speaking, the south and belize city are the places with the most poverty, whilst the west and north are fine

[@ednadiaz4193]

Really? Realistically speaking what do you mean by " the west and north are fine"? How would you define "fine"? Is it not a real issue when there are those both in the north and west who barely keep up? Survival mode means "your doing fine"? The reality is that all over the country there is poverty. Hard working people who barely survive even if they work as hard as they can. The sad reality is that many think that this is 'ok'. It's normal. It's what they deserve. 😢

[@NuriGarbutt]

You’re out of touch with reality in Belize, simply because poverty is more prevalent in rural areas of Belize.

[@thecomenter-c6n]

So true

[@shakaman2112]

It's true, I see people that complain how things are hard but somehow found money to go to the btb concert last week. It's bad but mainly in the places you specified. We live here so we know.

[@TiPitSgtBuddy]

I have contacts in Belize, I would like to have the contact info of Manuel please.

[@shellygodoy8090]

I was born in Belize and did not no smoke of these stories happening in my little country

[@ddoodah]

not me looking through the comments to see if theres anyone i know because belize is so small 💀💀💀

[@kendishendy4326]

What about school lunch for kids. I cannot afford it

[@EduardoPerez-fp1if]

Donate to belize if you like. But if you can help us get rid of this government that only remembers people when elections are around. Then just fill thier pockets and do a few projects in our small cities and show it on tv to feel good about them selves and make people feel they are doing something meanwhile they fill thier pockets, then we have people like you that want to help, big organizations that come to help us build our roads , build our schools, feed our hungry people, just to have the people in charge fight each other to take credit for things they would never do with the money they hold in their pockets. Help us get rise of them, John mcAfee tried to expose them and they started to look for him to shut him up.

[@livanchan8482]

+501🇧🇿❤️💪🤜🤛🙏

[@JohnWieler-m2e]

This video is showing only the poorest sites of Belize

[@ddoodah]

well yes... thats because a lot of the poorer parts of belize are in the rural areas... there are MANY rural areas in belize... its makes up most of the country?? and its kind of a big deal??? so of course they would show those parts??? because they need the most help??
