Tesouro Resources, as part of its constant contributions to society, on Thursday made four substantial donations to four organisations that were in need of the assistance, through the The Dean Hassan Giving Voices Grants (DHGVG) fund.
The institutions, which included John Bosco Orphanage, St Anne’s Orphanage, Shaheed’s Orphanage and Joshua House, were the recipients of varying services and support which were necessary.

Resources Office Manager of the company, Jaswick Williams highlighted that the donations would be made by the company at specific periods during the year, where toys and meals would be provided to children, animals and the elderly. However, this initiative was targeted at the direct needs of the orphanages. As such, a grant committee was established whereby the organisations would get an opportunity to send their request of their proposals which would later be sanctioned, followed by the materialisation of the idea.
Also speaking at the event was the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Tesouro, Dean Hassan, who noted that the company has been making these contributions for a number of years and will continue to do so in the future adding, “I’m here, willing and able to assist when called upon”.
This year, St John’s Bosco Orphanage received the assistance of 20 beds while psychological support was given for the girls of St Anne’s Orphanage, a computer lab to Shaheed’s Orphanage and Johsua House is expected to see the refurbishment of their kitchen and outdoor facilities.
The aim of the DHGVG funding is to provide a grant of a minimum of $1,000,000 each to five orphanages in Georgetown.
