Shaping the Character of our Nation
The Ministry of National Diversity and Social Integration is considered to be representative of the soul of the nation. It answers to the teachings of morals, values, and those inherent traits which are deep-rooted in our spirituality. The Ministry pays no regard to religion, only to belief in a Supreme Being, through our affiliation with the Inter-Religious Organisation of Trinidad and Tobago.

With cabinet-approval for financial support to faith-based organisations, the Ministry allows for the shaping of the character of our nation.
Early in the tenure of the Ministry, we applauded the Most Patriotic Schools in the nation and hosted national days of prayer in schools.
Hosting the National Week of Prayer with the support of the Honourable Prime Minister, Mrs.
Kamla Persad-Bissessar S.C, we reached out in prayer against scourges of our society and joined hands with all of our brothers and sisters. We have collaborated with the Ministry of Gender, Youth and Child Development during their vacation camps where we educated the children on aspects of our national identity and history.
