Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, renowned for its pristine beachside luxury, embodies a spirit of community commitment and environmental stewardship as vibrant as the scenic beauty of Aruba itself. At the heart of our community engagement efforts is the Stimami Sterilisami Foundation, an organization proudly founded by our resort to address a critical local need for animal welfare.
Foundation Origins: From Vision to Reality
"Stimami Sterilisami," translating to "Love me, Spay or Neuter me" in Papiamento, the local language of Aruba, captures the essence of our mission. This initiative was born out of a genuine concern for Aruba's pets and stray animals, envisioned by the compassionate leadership at Bucuti & Tara. From an inspired idea in 2016 to its official establishment in 2018, the foundation has been a testament to our dedication to making a tangible difference in the community.
Core Initiative: The Spay and Neuter Program
The cornerstone of the Stimami Sterilisami Foundation is its spay and neuter program. Recognizing the prohibitive costs of pet sterilization in Aruba, the foundation offers a subsidy that assists pet owners and rescue organizations by significantly reducing the financial burden of the procedure. For pets registered through the foundation, owners pay only a portion of the cost, with the foundation covering the remainder. This not only aids in controlling the pet population but also enhances the overall health and quality of life for the animals.
At Bucuti & Tara, we take this commitment a step further by fully subsidizing the cost of pet sterilization for our resort's associates. This benefit is part of our ongoing effort to ensure the well-being of our team’s pets and to promote responsible pet ownership among our staff.
Expanding Impact: Beyond Population Control
The benefits of the Stimami Sterilisami Foundation's work extend well beyond population control. Spaying and neutering also reduce the risk of certain diseases, decrease aggressive behavior, and diminish the number of animals suffering on the streets. These proactive measures relieve pressure on local animal shelters and lower the community and financial impacts on rescue organizations.
By founding and supporting the Stimami Sterilisami Foundation, Bucuti & Tara not only contributes to a reduction in stray animal populations but also promotes a safer, healthier environment for both pets and the community at large.
Future Goals: Continuing the Mission
As founders, we at Bucuti & Tara are deeply invested in the ongoing success and expansion of the Stimami Sterilisami Foundation's efforts. We are committed to enhancing our community's resilience and ensuring that every pet in Aruba receives the care and respect they deserve.
