721 Kids Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating safe, inclusive, and empowering environments for children and families in vulnerable situations. Our mission is to promote equal opportunities for all children, regardless of their background or ability. Through education, social inclusion, and community engagement, we support youth development and strengthen families.
One of our key initiatives is the Unity in Harmony project. It is designed to reduce loneliness, build peer connections, and support the holistic development of children ages three to 17. The program integrates academic support, social skills workshops for staff and volunteers, inclusive recreational activities, poverty alleviation initiatives and a buddy system.
Our programs empower children and families to overcome social and economic challenges. We offer accessible, community-based solutions that reduce inequality and promote inclusion. Among our most impactful activities is our Buddy Program, where children already enrolled in our programming are paired with peers with disabilities for inclusive learning and social connection. These relationships help combat loneliness and promote empathy. We also provide academic tutoring and homework support to keep children on track in school. Our weekly recreational activities, such as soccer, creative movement, and swimming, nurture both physical and emotional growth.
To directly address poverty and address key barriers to child development, we offer daily breakfast and lunch during our programs, ensuring no child goes hungry. For staff and volunteers, we provide continuous training and social skills workshops to maintain high-quality, inclusive care, ensure sustainability and community ownership of solutions.
By focusing on social-emotional development, education, and family support, we are helping to build a stronger and more resilient generation. Our commitment to inclusive practices – where children with and without special needs engage and learn together – helps foster a more empathetic and unified society.
Together, we can build a more inclusive and caring St. Maarten, where every child regardless of background or ability feels seen, supported and empowered.
This project is part of the Strengthening Families Together program – an initiative of Oranje Fonds and Kinderpostzegels, with Foresee Foundation for the Windward Islands coordinating the capacity-building component. The program supports organizations across the Dutch Caribbean with knowledge, networks, and funding to strengthen vulnerable families.
