The Power of Education
Education leads to sustainable, self-reliant communities. We believe education improves lives and motivates young people to improve their communities, thereby helping to make the world a better place
The PETNA Foundation’s first challenge was to help improve a village in Grenada. At the advice of close friends, our work began in one of the poorest villages on the island. Located on the outskirts of the town of Victoria, the village was once known as “Grand Provah,” meaning great poverty.
Since then, PETNA has provided financial support for many students to receive college education. Some of our students are working toward graduate degrees. Others have already returned to their villages to teach and rebuild their communities.
In addition to providing financial assistance, the Foundation provides mentorship to students, families and communities in which our students live.
