Who We Are

Serving the Disabled Community Since 1992

The Abilities Foundation is a registered voluntary organization and a Community-Based Training Institution with Heart Trust/NTA that caters to persons with disabilities.

The Foundation’s establishment in October, 5, 1992 was greatly influenced by the lobbying effort of members of the disabled community in Jamaica who recognized the need for a specialized vocational education and training programme to serve all types of disabilities. Its existence is a collaborative effort of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, Heart Trust NTA and a number of agencies of and for persons with disabilities.
