Food For the Poor (Guyana) Inc. recently launched an initiative to provide vital support for children with mobility challenges through the distribution of one hundred (100) pediatric wheelchairs. Beginning in Region Six, the organization has already facilitated the provision of wheelchairs to two deserving children, marking the commencement of this impactful program.
The distribution effort will extend its reach across Regions Three, Four, Nine, and Ten, ensuring that children in need receive the essential mobility assistance they deserve. By collaborating closely with community partners and regional health facilities, Food For the Poor (Guyana) Inc. is working diligently to identify and support beneficiaries in these areas.
Referencing the initiative, Ms. Andrea Benjamin, Chief Executive Officer, stated that the organization is deeply committed to improving the quality of life for children facing mobility challenges in Guyana. “Through the distribution of pediatric wheelchairs, we aim to empower these children with the freedom to move and explore their world, enabling them to lead fuller and more independent lives.”
The organization extends its gratitude to its partners, supporters, and volunteers whose dedication and generosity make initiatives like these possible. Together, we are making a tangible difference in the lives of children and families across Guyana.
