Cultivating Skills, Confidence, and Future Entrepreneurs in Trinidad

At Island Finance Trinidad, we’re helping students build confidence through hands-on financial learning.

Cultivating Skills, Confidence, and Future Entrepreneurs in Trinidad

Phase 1: From Seed to Skill

In collaboration with the SURE Foundation, we distributed more than 3,000 seedlings to 1,000 students across five primary schools. Students learned how to care for their plants and later harvested their produce. 

Phase 2: Harvest Day

We returned to the schools to celebrate Harvest Day, where students proudly sold tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, eggplant, and ochro grown from their own seedlings.

Participating schools: 

• Iere Government Primary School

• Macaulay Government Primary School

• Gasparillo Government Primary School

• Marabella Government Primary School

• Audrey Jeffers School for the Deaf


This initiative showed how small seeds can grow into big lessons in responsibility, confidence, and financial empowerment.
