The Men on Mission (MoM) initiative continues to transform lives, handing over three new homes to families in need over the weekend.
One of the beneficiaries, 31-year-old Shelly Doodnauth, a single mother of five from Patrick Dam, Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam, received the keys to her new three-bedroom house on Saturday.
Doodnauth previously struggled with inadequate housing, where rainfall would leave her children exposed to the elements.
The new home now provides her family with a safe and comfortable living space.
During the handover, Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha emphasized the initiative’s commitment to improving the lives of vulnerable groups across Guyana.
Additionally, two pensioners, 62-year-old Brijwanti Mangru and 75-year-old Diwanti Sirpat, also received homes through the programme.
Minister of Natural Resources Vickram Bharrat commended the MoM team for their efforts, highlighting the initiative’s impact and acknowledging the leadership that made it possible.
With a budget of $700 million allocated for 2025, the MoM programme is set to expand its outreach.
Of this amount, $395 million will go towards constructing 52 homes for vulnerable individuals across the country.
