A Look into Multicare
The MultiCare Foundation (MCF) was established in April 1993 under the theme “Creating Hope, Empowering Many” and with endowments by: the ICD Group Limited, LIME [then Cable & Wireless Jamaica Limited] and the Caribbean Cement Company Limited. The Foundation was established with six schools and a commitment to youth and community development, particularly among students and young people from inner city areas of Kingston. Today its core programmes in Sports, the Visual Arts and the Performing Arts are delivered in 31 schools from as far as Bull Bay in St. Andrew through Eastern, Western and Central Kingston to the Greater Portmore area in St. Catherine.
Through structured activities in sports, the visual and the performing arts, The Foundation focuses on the building of character and the promotion of tolerance and good interpersonal relationships among children from diverse background and often-contentious communities. The programmes are designed to inculcate discipline and responsibility, promote good physical, emotional and mental health development while providing the youngsters with opportunities to shine and achieve, building confidence and self-esteem. Ultimately, MultiCare aims to have these young people adopt a softer and gentler approach to living compared to those to which many of them are regularly exposed and promote positive lifestyle choices leading to the development of well-rounded and productive adults.
