ABOUT US

“There is no greater joy, nor greater reward than to make a fundamental difference in someone’s life.” — Mary Rose McGeady.

Creating Solutions For Generations To Come

We are a multi-generational, multicultural, human family from all walks of life, focused on raising a prosperous Belize, and building an innovative template for communal living and human thriving in the modern era.

Me Is We social impact organization is grounded in the fundamental awareness that WE ARE ALL CONNECTED.
Our ultimate goal is to build a sustainable eco-village with the sister organization, The Menzies Philanthropic Foundation, which focuses on healing, helping, and growing healthy families.

By providing training and financial, emotional, and communal support to struggling families and orphaned children and creating a safe haven-conscious community, we can give people a unique opportunity to heal, learn and develop purpose-driven lives instead of propagating a cycle of neglect and poverty. We look to affect the future, not repeat the past, and within this community model, we will have the blueprint for doing just that around the entire globe!

Both The Menzies Philanthropic Foundation and Me Is We Social Impact Organization stand for the fundamental rights of every child on the planet and have adopted the United Nations Rights of the Child to guide our programs and initiatives.

We believe that every child has fundamental rights. We’ve adopted the United Nations Rights of the Child to guide our programs and initiatives.
