Working to Reach More Individuals, Families and Communities

“We have the answers to human suffering and they are available to everyone.”
L. Ron Hubbard

In keeping with the philosophy expressed above by Mr. Hubbard, ABLE works to bring the benefits of his technologies to people and communities in need across the globe. L. Ron Hubbard spent the better part of a lifetime investigating and researching ways to improve society—by improving the individual and giving him or her and their families the tools to rise free of the traps of substance abuse and addiction, of illiteracy, of the dead-end route of a life of crime, and of the degradation found in societies which have lost the sense of right and wrong, leaving individuals to be guided only by prejudice, intolerance, and the too-often decadent standards around them.

It is ABLE’s goal, working through and with the individual social betterment corporations of Applied Scholastics International, Narconon International, Criminon International and The Way to Happiness International, to change these conditions, to give children the opportunity to grow up capable and free of drugs, and to become contributive community members; to enable communities to develop without fear of crime and the manifold ills which accompany rampant substance abuse. We work for no less than that our neighborhoods and our nations be composed of alert, intelligent and productive individuals.

With the technologies used daily by the four social betterment organizations, we work steadily toward the achievement of this goal. The answers do exist. And these social betterment methods developed by L. Ron Hubbard are today applied in some 75 countries by more than 800 organizations to the benefit of millions. But the magnitude of the problem is large; this goal is attainable only in close cooperation with individuals and organizations of goodwill and good intent.

To that end, ABLE International stands ready to work with you to plan and implement effective programs that get results in handling drugs, crime, illiteracy and declining morals in your communities and to build better lives for our children, families, neighborhoods, towns, cities and nations—for all of us. Contact us today.
ABLE Social Betterment Directors work with community leaders and representatives of community institutions and government agencies, to provide effective ABLE programs which help address social problems prevalent in the community, state or country.

ABLE International welcomes visitors to its headquarters in Hollywood, California.




The ABLE building houses a special exhibition which presents the complete picture - the impact of drugs, crime, illiteracy and immorality on the society and the full scope of ABLE International’s solutions.








Another exhibit chronicles L. Ron Hubbard’s research into the problems of society and their resolutions.











Contact ABLE today to arrange a tour. E-mail ableint@able.org or phone (323) 960-3530.










"If you go to any American city and look into the eyes of our young African-American men and women, you will see anger and alienation. Why? They are surrounded by a wealth of opportunities in this country yet are convinced these opportunities are not for them. This is the result of illiteracy.

"L. Ron Hubbard's breakthrough study method is the missing link that explained what was keeping inner city youth from succeeding in learning and life.

"Through providing these study methods, ABLE and Applied Scholastics were providing tools that we could use in my program for young gang members. I saw this unlock my boys from a life of poverty and despair.

"I have seen dramatic changes in a very dismal scene and I praise the Lord we now have these answers."

Rev. Alfreddie Johnson
Baptist Minister

“L. Ron Hubbard has developed and left for this generation and posterity, an idea, a principle, an effective learning technology with the intention of recreating the original peace on this planet and an accommodating and caring human heart to manage it. I would like therefore to ask each one of us to make a decisive, personal pledge, in our hearts, to support ABLE. This support will enable it to accelerate its reach so as to encompass the earth and benefit all humanity.”
Mr. John P. Bojang
Gambian Ambassador to the United States
