It is not often that you can touch a life in such a tangible way. Your contributions will allow you to invest in their physical and, most importantly, spiritual well-being.

Here's your opportunity to touch the life of a Deaf student in a meaningful and tangible way. Your contributions allow you to invest in the mental, physical social and, most importantly, spiritual well-being of a Deaf student of your choosing or the collective Deaf population.

About CCCD Jamaica

Caribbean Christian Centre for the Deaf exists to reach, teach, and nurture the Deaf of Jamaica to experience the joy of knowing Jesus, personal and professional development and wholesome integration into the wider society and the world. We accomplish this by operating three residential schools spread geographically across the island (Kingston, Manchester and St. James) and a centrally located Jamaica Deaf Village (Manchester), which ministers to the adult Deaf and their families.

Statement of Faith: In One God, who has revealed Himself in Scripture through the Old and New Testaments as three Persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Our Purpose: CCCD exists to reach, teach, and nurture the Deaf of Jamaica so that they can experience the joy of knowing Jesus and serving within their community.
Our Board and Staff: Learn more about our dedicated board and staff that work tirelessly to ensure the mission's success to nurture Deaf students in Jamaica.
