MOM gifts new home to WCB family after tragic fire
Following the tragic fire which left a family of No. 12 Village, West Coast Berbice displaced, the Men on Mission (MoM) initiative on Monday handed over a brand-new house to them.
The MOM initiative, an effort led by President Ali, was able to garner necessary support from stakeholders to construct a brand-new home for this family. And at the handing-over ceremony, the President said, “Alongside this great initiative, we have over 50 homes under construction for different beneficiaries under the MOM program.

“One of the benefits of the MOM initiative is that, in situations of natural disasters, we are seeing families and businesses coming together in communities and regions, supporting such families who are victims of such scenarios. This is one family that was supported by a community,” the President expressed.

He added that under the MOM initiative, an aggressive campaign to deal with drug abuse will be rolled out soon. “The mentorship programs in schools…will have our retired servicemen and women counselling our young people, and motivational and coaching sessions (being held) in communities.”
A very appreciative Ramnarine and her family have expressed heartfelt thanks to the President and members of the MOM initiative.
