About Us
The Barry Foundation MTÜ was founded in April 2019 with the purpose of providing support to economically disadvantaged families in Saare County in raising children and contributing to their development, but also providing them with basic necessities (food, school supplies, clothing, etc.). To achieve its goals, the foundation has mainly focused on helping families in need get the necessary food supplies during holidays (e.g. Christmas and Midsummer Day) and school supplies before the start of the new academic year, and developing opportunities to meet the needs of children and youngsters.
The organisation was founded and is financed by a private entrepreneur from the United States, who has a family connection to Saaremaa, where they provide accommodation and real estate services (www.thepeacefulvacation.com). At the same, the Barry family wants to contribute to the local community in Saare County, keeping in mind the needs, interests and development of and a better future for its children and young people. One such possibility is establishing a youth centre primarily for the age group of 3-12.
