The Petite Anse Hotel has always strived to make a positive difference in the community. Our efforts started on day one when we hired local consultants and then local builders to construct the resort. We have continued to hire local people, source local produce, and promote local artists as much as possible.
Our support of the community manifests itself in many different ways, which you can read more about on our blog. We also feel that the hotel has made an overall positive impact in this part of the island in terms of economics and education.
At Petite Anse, we take immense pride in our role as a community-driven establishment that places a strong emphasis on giving back to our local area. One of the most significant ways we contribute is by providing job opportunities to our fellow residents. Our commitment to employing local talent not only reduces unemployment but also fosters a sense of pride and belonging among our workforce.
Additionally, we prioritise purchasing produce and goods from nearby farmers and artisans, thereby bolstering the local economy and sustaining the livelihoods of these small-scale producers.
Beyond employment and procurement, we actively contribute funds to various community-based initiatives and good causes, supporting education, healthcare, and environmental projects. Our dedication to uplifting the community goes beyond business; it’s a heartfelt commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of the people who call this beautiful corner of the world their home.
Here’s how else Petite Anse is involved in the community:
Local Staff
To run the hotel, we hire local people who go through a training and personal development program. We want our staff to be self-sufficient and resourceful long after their time at the hotel. We also support the services of other local people, such as taxi drivers, boat owners, tourist guides, and a blind massage therapist.
Local Produce
Almost all of our fresh produce is either grown by ourselves or purchased from local trusted growers. By doing so, we not only ensure the freshness and quality of the products we offer to our guests, but we also play a crucial role in bolstering the local economy.
This practice helps sustain the livelihoods of small-scale producers in our community, fostering a strong sense of interconnectedness and mutual support. It’s not just about buying food; it’s about investing in the success and prosperity of our local partners while promoting sustainability and reducing our environmental footprint.
We believe that this dedication to local sourcing not only enhances the overall experience for our guests but also reinforces our commitment to being responsible and community-oriented in every aspect of our operation.
Local Wildlife and Nature
We actively support the protection of leatherback turtles and other wildlife in the area.
Attach a Leg
Providing a service to amputees who are looking to improve mobility by use of a prosthetic aid, Attach A Leg is a non-profit organisation. Petite Anse is currently looking at ways to support this charity who are performing a much needed role on the island. Head over to their site to read more about them by clicking here.
Philip is also running the London Marathon to raise funds for Attach-a-Leg – please make a donation here.
Charitable Contributions
Petite Anse Hotel regularly makes charitable contributions to both local people in need and projects. Philip recently ran the London Marathon to raise funds to replace the deteriorating roof of the local community home – with the help of our guests and other contributors, he raised over US$17,000. If you’d like to make a contribution, please ask.
