Who We Are
Our Mission and Team
Santa Aguila Foundation
Aguila was fortunate to spend her short life in an exceptional natural environment. Her home was on the powerful and pristine Atlantic Ocean. Her sandbox was a magnificent, vast, and unspoiled beach; she lived amongst its wildlife.
Every child should have the right to live in a “healthy” natural environment as Aguila did. Inspired by her memory, we have established the Santa Aguila Foundation.
Mission and Goals
Our Mission is to inspire and empower young minds to become environmentally conscious through captivating coastal education.
Our Goals are to create an online library offering multilingual and audio-accessible resources that foster a love for the coast.
Encourage sustainable practices and conservation efforts through engaging hands-on activities and interactive storytelling.
Promote a sense of belonging by integrating projects that connect children to their local coastal environments.
Partner with educators and organizations to distribute our resources and create a lasting impact on coastal education.
