Superbet distributes 100 Kindle Tablets to students across Guyana
Guiana Holding Inc, marketed under the brand Superbet, has recognised the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on access to education, more specifically students’ access to virtual and online classes.

As a result, Superbet embarked on a project to distribute 100 Kindle Tablets towards students across Guyana.
The process required an application to be completed and sent along with relevant documents which resulted in hundreds of applications being received, out of which 100 winners were randomly pulled from a raffle drum.
The 100 winners were then contacted and scheduled to visit Superbet’s Head Office at various times to avoid crowds, with all COVID-19 protocols being observed including washing of hands, sanitising, temperature checks and social distancing. The 100 successful parents were visibly appreciative and expressed gratitude to the company for the much-needed initiative.
Superbet General Manager Shrikant Kisoensingh noted that the company was committed towards its corporate social responsibility and saw education as a necessity which every student should enjoy.
Further, he added that this project was a gesture towards the Guyanese people during these unprecedented times in an effort to assist the education sector with much-needed resources.
“We believe that education is the passport to the future and hope that this gesture assists the students in a meaningful manner along their journey,” he said.
Superbet has continued to honour its commitment towards its customers, supporters, and the Guyanese people at large despite the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Kindle Distribution Project and other donations and sponsorships which can be viewed on the company’s website at www.superbet.gy or on its official social media accounts.
