First Lady, MoM present 5 families with new homes

The Men on Mission (MoM) organisation recently presented five newly constructed homes to five families in the East Berbice-Corentyne Region.
First Lady Arya Ali, on her Facebook page, commended MoM for the remarkable work they have been leading in providing homes for hundreds of families across Guyana, and emphasised that access to adequate, safe and affordable housing is a foundation of social development. Deomattie Jainarine of Ankerville; Coreen Clarkson of Fort Ordinance; Parbattie Babunarine of Williamsburg; Welma Permaul, East Canje; and Soorjbally Ramlochan of No. 19 Village received their homes from the First Lady and MoM. MoM was launched by President Dr Irfaan Ali in 2022 to empower men to become role models for advancing a progressive society. It looks to equip men with responsibility and encourages mentoring, motivating and coaching young people for better lives. In addition, MoM aims to have a positive impact on the lives of the vulnerable, who include single parents, the elderly, persons with disabilities, pensioners, and disaster victims. Some of the non-profit organisation’s key initiatives include housing, economic and community support, and empowering youth and men.
Speaking at the 2022 launch, the President had said: “We are the root cause of much problems in society. It is now our time to be the root of solution, to be the root of positivity, to be the root that makes a difference, to be a root that builds a support system. Men on Mission will be the foundation to remove violence against women and children. This is not the responsibility for women, this is the responsibility for us to work with each other. We must make the change. We must drive the change. We must lead the movement of respect, we must lead the movement of dignity, we must lead the movement of pride”
MoM has since ensured it continues to carry out its mandate.
