PROGRAM HISTORY

ANIDA Jamaica began in 2011. Since then, we’ve established a poultry farm to provide a sustainable income for local communities. We also have a child sponsorship program, Hope for Tomorrow, that provides children with access to education.

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE ENTAIL?

In line with our development plan, ANIDA will continue to offer unique solutions to increase the access children in local communities have to education. An additional component of our development plan is agricultural development. We are working hard to create more sustainable income opportunities for communities.
