Who Is KIND?
Kids In Need of Direction (KIND) is a charitable
organization founded in 1996, with the aim of
providing assistance to disadvantaged children
throughout Trinidad and Tobago, within the
parameters of Education, Nutrition, Medical
Assistance, Vocational Training, Emotional
Counselling and Sport.
We see this as a critical need and therefore will
continue our intervention efforts working with
our society’s most precious resources, our
children.
To date, KIND has helped over 5,000 children and
their families. As we identify more and more
cases of children in distressing situations, the
need for assistance grows.
Help us to “build T&T one family at a time”.
