Integrity Children's Fund (Integrity), founded in 2002 and headquartered in Georgia, is a direct response to the problem of relatively high illiteracy rate among Jamaican teenagers. The response has been extended to address the challenges of literacy among immigrant children who have settled in the metro Atlanta area. Illiteracy limits the ability of youth to reason rationally and is the primary factor in many youth making bad "life choices". Integrity, a 501 (c) 3 organization, is committed to reducing the illiteracy rate among at-risk teenagers. Since inception, Integrity has provided approximately US $1,000,000.00 to educate nearly 600 students annually from inner-city communities in Jamaica. Recently, Integrity launched a support program for students at an Atlanta based school, a program focused on reading comprehension and math skills.
