The Beautiful Grand Bahamas Initiative was founded by the Grand Bahamas Minister. Ginger Moxie not only helped clean up the communities around the island, but was also the means by which many unemployed Grand Bahamians were able to regain hope and dignity and the opportunity to earn a living again.

Prime Minister Davis said, “I expected the Ministers and Departments of Grand Bahama to take an innovative approach in tackling the island’s long-standing problems.” , and we believe this model can be used throughout the Bahamas, and we plan to do modeling nationwide.”

“The primary focus of Collab’s Beautiful Grand Bahama is the empowerment of the Bahamas. It’s not just about providing jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities, it’s about changing lives.
