Provides training and income generation opportunities to marginalized women in order to improve these vulnerable communities socioeconomic conditions and resilience to disasters.

Many marginalized Guyanese face discrimination in their daily lives, particularly when they seek health care, education, and employment. The IAF supports community-led efforts to promote inclusion through increased economic opportunity.

Our grantee Guyana Rainbow Foundation (GuyBow) provides training and income generation opportunities to marginalized women in order to improve these vulnerable communities socioeconomic conditions and resilience to disasters.

This grant is part of the IAFs commitment to strengthen community-led disaster mitigation and resilience in the Caribbean and is advancing the U.S.-Caribbean Resilience Partnership, and is also part of the IAFs Women INvesting in Growth and Security (WINGS) initiative to empower women as business and community leaders.
