Bahamas Lotus (BL) - Who We Are
Bahamas Lotus is a Nonprofit Organization established to provide assistance, training and resources for the growth and development of individuals and families. BL provides support services and assistance with employment, economic needs, social needs, psychosocial needs, personal enhancement and family development to individuals living throughout the Commonwealth of The Bahamas and Bahamians living abroad. Our mission is to build resilient individuals and families by helping them to reduce risk traits and use protective factors and interventions to empower themselves and produce stronger families and safer communities.
Did you know that the Lotus flower has a life cycle like no other flower? With its roots based in mud, it submerges every night into murky river water, and undeterred by its dirty environment it miraculously re-blooms the next morning without residue on its petals. The lotus flower is born in water, grows in water and rises out of water to stand above unsoiled. Like the Lotus flower, the volunteers, families and communities that may become recipients of Bahamas Lotus services, will rise out of their vulnerable and marginalized conditions to tap into their gifts, elevate their circumstances and collectively advance their environments. Here at BL we are Building Resilient Communities, One Child, One Person, One Family at a Time.
