Zanita Persaud, the wife of the 75- year- old Abdool Nazir, expressed their appreciation for the new home<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She recalled that in 2017 Nazir was shaken by severe kidney complication which left him temporarily bedridden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are from Great Diamond lot four and now we are here at the new house and we are very happy about the house the Men on Mission give us and Thank GOD for it, if it wasn\u2019t for Men on Mission, we would have never owned a home,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple had requested President Irfaan Ali\u2019s help during a community outreach \u2013 to get a house lot, explaining that they were facing difficulties living at a relative\u2019s house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, MOM Coordinator Lieutenant Colonel Bhageshwar Murli says over the past four years, they have built homes for nearly 170 vulnerable individuals, with 161 handed over to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other\u00a0initiatives led by\u00a0MOM include the Prison Avoidance System, which supports incarcerated individuals and their families\u00a0especially children\u00a0to foster better life choices\u00a0and\u00a0the Youth Empowerment Program\u00a0which\u00a0serves\u00a0about\u00a025 vulnerable youthsfrom Georgetown, hinterland, and riverine communities by providing daily meals, homework assistance, literacy and math lessons, life skills training, and sports.<\/p>\n\n\n
