Saint Jhn giving back to Guyana through ‘Develop Home Initiative’

International music sensation and philanthropist Saint Jhn has unveiled his latest project: the Develop Home Initiative, a transformative community outreach programme dedicated to giving back to his homeland of Guyana.
The Saint Jhn Develop Home Initiative was launched on Tuesday evening at the Marriott Hotel in Georgetown.

With support from oil giant ExxonMobil Guyana and Creative Titans GY, the Develop Home Initiative marks a significant milestone in the artist’s ongoing mission to uplift the communities that played a pivotal role in shaping his life and career.
At the launching ceremony, the music sensation, whose birth name is Carlos St. John Phillips, reaffirmed his commitment towards giving back to his home country.
“I did some community outreaches (because) it’s support for me to go to the orphanages and go to the group homes and shelters like that, because that’s a personal mission of mine. For me, it’s impacting the kids in whatever possible way I can. It goes a long way, but I try not to come empty- handed,” he revealed.
Through a series of carefully curated community activities, the initiative aims to empower Guyanese citizens by focusing on areas such as education, health, and social welfare. While this is a step in the right direction, the artist has stressed that more could be done on his behalf.
“But I need to do more. Long story short, I need to do more. I got to be here more, I got to spend more time, I got to lend more energy, I have to lend my expertise, I have to have more conversations,” he noted.
Saint Jhn’s arrival in Guyana has been marked by a series of impactful outreach efforts. The artist began his journey by visiting local orphanages, where he interacted with residents and kicked off a range of charitable events designed to benefit those most in need.
