Abacus for Communities (AfC)
Abacus for Communities (AfC) is a “Non Governmental Organization” working with communities at grassroots level, in partnership with national, regional and international governments, organizations and individuals, to promote the development of safe, prosperous, stable, and self-developing communities. AfC was formed to address the changing development needs in the Caribbean resulting from the magnitude and impact of disasters that have struck and are expected to impact the region and the preparedness and responses countries will require. It does this with a team comprising a small staff, professional consultants, cooperating partners and a growing number of volunteers, through projects involving early warning, emergency communications, environment, health, education, infrastructure, culture, security, rural development, disaster risk reduction and the promotion of private-sector enterprise. AfC has a roster of consultants with Caribbean and international experience in humanitarian and development disciplines.
Thank you for your support, your confidence, and your belief in our vision.

Mainly through volunteerism, we help them to achieve independence, by drawing from their own motivations and efforts
So let us build the people and they will build their institutions “[/vcex_icon_box]
AfC was created with a “raison d’etre” to build a model of enablement and upliftment of people (teaching to fish – men, women, youth and poor) instead of patronising them by handouts (giving them fish)…. AfC brings a strong and unique core belief and commitment that communities must in the main, find and adopt self-development mechanisms and while working with government and other institutions, must not wait on them.
