Support Utila Update
By Heath Miller | Founding Director
We're currently in the rainy (and slow) season here on Utila. So far we've had 2 larger storms pass our way, with no major damages on the island, but we did have flooding in many areas along with coastal errosion. We still have a bit of time left in rainy season, and we hope to continue through it unharmed.
Onto ongoing projects, we have been able to purchase 3 brand new laptops for the public school, which will be given to them shortly. We're hoping to get the school a total of 20 new computers in the coming year.
If you are coming to Utila and have a used but working laptop that you would like to donate, we're happy to accept them to give to the public school, or a student in need if preferred.

Support Utila Update

Support Utila is saddened by the tragic fires that destroyed two Utila homes this past week. The two families lost almost everything and really need support from our community now. We encourage everyone to donate to the individual GofundMe accounts for these families linked below
We all understand that on remote islands fire is a major threat that can have a devastating impact, as the horrible fire on Guanaja last year illustrated. SupportUtila will be donating free smoke detectors to help protect families and their homes. If you would like a free smoke detector (1 per family), please follow us on social media for when we have them ready to picked up at the
Coral View Beach Resort Utila.
Support Utila is also working to bring additional fire fighting equipment to the island and will update you as those efforts progress.
Thank you for your support and donations.

Support Utila Update
By Heath Miller | Founding Director
Utila is relatively stable at the moment. We're currently still working on bringing in fire protective equipment, which is waiting to clear customs. There is a need for funds to repair buoys, which we may start fundraising for in the coming months. Additionally, we have secured a volunteer psychologist who will be working with the students at the public school on Utila, which will be slated to start mid to end of this month.
Covid rates continue to be stable on Utila, and tourism has remained slower than usual, but steadily picking up.
We have been also helping a few locals with basic necessities as needed, and continue our other programs working with the Jasper's Animal Shelter, the Utopia Vilage Project and distributing product donations when received.
