About Us
The NCVO is dedicated to the care, education and well-being of children and families in need of support in the Cayman Islands. We have been serving the community since 1974 thanks to our co-founders Miss. Olive Miller and Mr. Richard Arch.
We currently house and care for 10 children in our 24/7 residential foster care home, and 60 children aged between 3 months and 5 years are enrolled in our nursery and preschool.
Our immediate focus for the year ahead is to raise the funds necessary to provide the best services and staff to these children with the help of corporate donations, our truly supportive community and our tireless volunteers.
Investing in early childhood education and foster care has multiple long-term payoffs, all of which benefit not just the children involved but the community at large.
Our History
Formerly known as The National Council of Social Service, the NCVO was inaugurated on January 13th, 1974 to meet the needs of the needs of the community that service clubs could not meet.
How Are We Funded?
We are a private non-profit and do receive some funding from government but operate at a shortfall in our annual operating expenses.
We rely on the help of corporate donors, our truly supportive community and our tireless volunteers for their time and donations.
Our primary mission is to ensure that we are able to provide the best environment for the children in our care.
We rely on YOU and your generous donations in order to raise the funds necessary to provide the best services and teaching staff to assist the children of the Cayman Islands that need it most.
