OUR COMMITMENT:
RESTORE, PROTECT, AND INVEST
IN THE FUTURE OF THE ISLAND FOR ALL BARBUDANS

From the outset, the Barbuda Ocean Club has been dedicated to using its resources and talents to support a rich, vibrant, and economically and environmentally sustainable community for all Barbudans.

Following the devastation of Hurricane Irma, we redoubled this commitment and, working with the local community, defined five pillars that guide everything we do.

Environment

Restore and protect the environment

Health

Protect and care for the local community

Culture

Preserve and embrace the rich Barbudan culture

Entrepreneurs

Support local entrepreneurs

Education

In education, training, and the future of young Barbudans

While each touches a different aspect of life on the island, all support the goal of revitalizing the local community and making it more resilient for the future. We view our efforts here as a partnership between Barbuda Ocean Club, the local government, and most importantly our neighbors on Barbuda.

Restoring Wetlands and Wildlife within Palmetto Point

More than 85% of the world’s wetlands have been destroyed in recent years and, until recently, the island of Barbuda followed this same tragic trend. The Barbuda Ocean Club team is extremely proud to work alongside the local community, environmental agencies and consultants, and our partners to seek ongoing solutions that create harmony between people and our natural environment.

A Healthier Life For Our Neighbors

From emergency relief, mobile clinics, medical equipment, to COVID-19 vaccines, healthcare is improving for all Barbudans.

Safe drinking water for all Barbudans

Access to fresh water has been a long-standing problem for residents on the island. That tide is now turning.

Restoring Barbuda’s sand dunes

Sand dunes are essential to the wellbeing of people, plants, and animals on the island. After years of neglect, they are now getting the attention they deserve.

Restoring Barbuda’s native vegetation and natural beauty

Working together, local experts, residents, and the Barbuda Ocean Club are restoring the island’s natural beauty and removing invasive and non-indigenous plants.

Access to quality, lifelong education

The island’s schools are steeped in an education system that is hundreds of years old. Now it also has a promising future.

Basketball in Barbuda

Civic pride is a team sport, and the island is playing to win.

Inspiring entrepreneurs

Many Barbuda residents are eager to start and grow businesses. Access to capital and mentoring could give these entrepreneurs the opportunity they need and deserve.
