ABOUT US
United Way Trinidad and Tobago
OUR Commitment
United Way Trinidad and Tobago mobilizes communities throughout our nation to action so all can thrive. True to our Caribbean nature whenever there is a need in our communities or region, UWTT is there working and partnering with NGOs, CBOs and Funding Partners.
We bring a comprehensive collective working approach to every challenge, actively listening and responding to local needs. Our reach across hundreds of communities across our twin-island nation means we can share learnings and programmes to scale impact, improving and transforming lives. From strengthening community resilience to advancing education opportunities, and family wellbeing, we’re working towards a future where every person can reach their full potential
Our People
We are grateful to the dedication or our Board and the Board Committees. They provide the stewardship to ensure that our work results in improving lives every day all over the country.
