About Le Antonio’s Foundation

Le Antonio’s Foundation is a Jamaican nationally registered charitable organization since December 2013 which offers a free Homework and Development Center, and other  humanitarian services to inner-city youths. In keeping with our motto “A Haven where at-risk youths experience teamwork, and get help learning new skills that they find valuable and helpful in their lives,” the doors of the Le Antonio’s Foundation’s Homework and Development Center opened on March 31, 2014 at 1 Barnett Lane, Montego Bay, St. James, Jamaica.

We are not funded by the government, we depend on sponsorship, partnership, and volunteers to make our mission and vision possible. Le Antonio’s Foundation incorporates tutoring and academic enrichment activities that support  each student’s achievement in the classroom, and help students meet proficiency requirements by Jamaica’s public schools. We aims to provide avenues to empower the lives of the youths and families in the lower socioeconomic neighborhoods.  

Registration Number: CA100-258C

Le Antonio’s Foundation currently operates three (3) initiatives:
  • Le Antonio’s Foundation Homework and Development Center
  • Le Antonio’s Foundation Youth Conference
  • Le Antonio’s Foundation End Bullying Globally Campaign and Forum     
The Foundation has been active since its formation in serving the inner-city community, schools and other organization with donated food, and supplies. Each year we provide the students of our surrounding Montego Bay inner-cities with back to school supplies, and a street fair where they are treated to food, desert and beverages, a bounce-about, a marching band and back to school medical check-up. In December of each year we have also successfully treated the children of these communities with Christmas toys and a festive street fair.

Our Team

A team of humanitarians and construction business professionals, Le Antonio’s Roofing and Construction who have served Montego Bay for over 15 years got together to form Le Antonio’s Foundation with a mission to fill the obvious gaps in the lives of the youths of the surrounding communities in which their corporate office is located. Our founders came together in 2013 to start this organization in Barnett Lane, Montego Bay. Le Antonio’s Foundation operates under the leadership of Mr. Antonio McKoy, President and Founder, and the Foundation’s board of directors; however, our core operation team is our volunteers, who offer their services to make our Homework Center run effectively, and the Foundation’s other initiatives move from “a plan” to an an absolute reality. 

What Drives Our Passion Behind the End Bullying Globally Initiative

The END BULLYING GLOBALLY CAMPAIGN & FORUM started after a student of Le Antonio's Foundation Homework and Development Center confided in us that he was struggling with being bullied. We then began interviewing the community youths and was faced with a challenge as we talked with children who are being bullied or are bullies themselves. We quickly realized that bullying is a global issue facing our youths. We knew instantly that our children need a voice, and since Le Antonio's Foundation was formed on serving humanity, we answered the challenge to be the voice of our youths facing the monster of being bullied or being a bully. The Foundation decided the best way to solve this problem is to form an education and professional network to illuminate the effects of bullying, and create structures of intervention, counseling and prevention mechanisms to support the youths that are affected by this: Thus the birth of Le Antonio's Foundation End Bullying Globally Campaign and Forum
