Cayo Christian Academy

he surrounding area of Ontario Village is an often-overlooked and very poor community in Belize. It is home to many Mestizo and Garifuna families, some of whom live on the hills surrounding the city center. While some families have running water and electricity, many do not. Most residents work in agriculture or local industries, with the annual income for most families falling under $2,500 dollars each year.

Cayo Christian Academy is a vibrant Christian school connected with Ontario Christian Community Church. The ministry has a strong foundation and is rooted deeply in Christian values and biblical principles. They recently stepped out in faith to build a brand new church and school facility—one of the best in the country. Though partnerships with U.S. schools and churches have been difficult since COVID, they remain faithful and are looking for a school partner to walk alongside them.
