Since 2012, One Eleuthera Foundation (OEF) has been on a mission to empower local island communities, transforming them into thriving self-sufficient ecosystems. OEF is a community-based, people-centric, non-profit organization operating with the best interest of local communities close at heart.
OEF was born out of a need to protect Eleuthera, one of the family islands of The Bahamas, from large scale developments that threatened to forever alter the pristine natural landscape, disrupt fragile marine and land ecosystems and further disempower residents by perpetuating the cycle of over-dependency on foreign direct investment.
OEF's response is to unite and build a sustainable and equitable community development model, focused on the holistic well-being of those they serve. This model encompasses economic ownership, meaningful educational advancement, pathways to wellness, and environmentally sustainable communities centered around the island’s unique cultural identity.
