“At Fortitude Re, we believe that education is the foundation of a thriving community,” said Amanda Stewart, SVP, Employee Experience and Leader of Fortitude Re 4 Good. “Our partnership with the Bermuda Education Network reflects our commitment to helping every child reach their potential by ensuring equitable access to quality learning opportunities. By investing in youth literacy, we’re investing in Bermuda’s future.”
This latest contribution builds on the company’s long-standing relationship with BEN.

By continuing to invest in education, Fortitude Re 4 Good seeks to empower the next generation of Bermudian learners and ensure equitable access to high-quality educational resources.
“Fortitude Re’s continued partnership is making a remarkable difference for Bermuda’s students,” said Becky Ausenda, BEN Founder. “Their generous support allows us to provide a high-quality and transformative summer intervention, which year after year moves a significant number of eight-year-old students who are struggling with reading to proficiency and builds the foundation for future education success.”
