VISION
Every Bahamian is empowered to reach his or her full potential. and The Canadian Lyford Cay Foundation are philanthropic organisations that share the same purpose and have deep roots in the Lyford Cay community. Our core belief is that increasing educational attainment across the country is key to the development of a prosperous, healthy and peaceful Bahamas. To that end, we focus our effor

ts on providing learning opportunities for Bahamian children, young adults, families, and communities. Our programmes are designed to help those who need them the most, and to yield palpable, long-term results. We especially serve students who would be the first generation in their family to achieve a post-secondary education. We are disciplined in what we fund, how we deliver our programmes, how we measure results, and how we adapt to changing times. We are committed to acting with integrity and transparency, and to being excellent stewards of our donors, their gifts, and all whom we serve. We rely entirely on the generosity of our donors — like-minded individuals, corporations and private grant-making organisations — to carry out our work of transforming lives through education.

On Sustainable Gastronomy Day, we celebrate the power of food to connect cultures, communities, and careers. 🌱

Lyford Cay Foundations Alumnus, Chef Keshlah Smith transformed a childhood passion into a remarkable profession. Today, she is The Bahamas' first Certified Private Chef and Certified Private Butler, serving clients in homes, yachts, villas, and luxury properties around the world. Growing up in Fox Hill, Keshlah's love for food began on her family's farm, where meals were made from the land and every ingredient had a story.

Receiving a Lyford Cay Foundations Technical Training Scholarship named in honour of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1999 opened the door to international culinary training and new perspectives on gastronomy:

"The scholarship to pursue Culinary Arts opened many doors and changed the way I saw food, cooked food, and ate food. Studying in one of the world's largest countries exposed me to a fusion of cultures and taught me to think outside the box. The art of culinary is endless."

We are proud to celebrate Chef Keshlah's achievements and the impact she continues to make through her craft, creativity, and commitment to excellence. 👩🏽‍🍳

🌍☀️ Today, on International Day of Play, we celebrate the power of learning through exploration, creativity, and fun!

Our LEAP programme provides students with opportunities to step beyond the traditional classroom and engage in hands-on, active learning experiences that develop important skills through play.

By combining meaningful learning with movement, discovery, and time spent outdoors, LEAP helps create an engaging environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Because sometimes the best learning happens when children are free to play, explore, and enjoy the world around them. 🌱🎉

2026 truly made for an awesome LEAP year! 🎉📚

We recently wrapped up the 2026 cycle of our LEAP Programme with an afternoon full of fun, laughter, games, snacks, and celebration. After weeks of hard work, growth, and dedication, our students officially completed their post-assessments in literacy and math and earned a well-deserved day to simply enjoy being kids. The day ended with a certificate ceremony where we congratulated our Grade 4 students for completing the 4 year programme.

This year’s LEAP students showed incredible perseverance every step of the way. We are so proud of all they accomplished and grateful to the educators, volunteers, families, and supporters who helped make this programme possible. 💙

Here’s to another successful LEAP year and to the bright futures ahead for our students! ✨
