BEST is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation managed and operated by Belizeans. It was founded in 1985. The organisation helps to create economic benefits for the poor and strengthens the ability of community-based enterprises to sustain their own development. It fulfills this goal by engaging in the provision of credit, promoting enterprise creation, applying efficient business management training, sustainable and natural resource management, and the encouraging the participation of women in the social and economic development of Belize.
