Provide training and income generation opportunities to women and others in situations of vulnerability to improve their socioeconomic conditions and resilience to disasters. Having economic options helps to keep participants safe.

In rural eastern Guyana jobs have become scarce with the collapse of the sugar industry.

The frequent natural disasters that Guyana experiences further disrupt people’s livelihoods and access to basic services. Women have been particularly impacted.

Many stay in abusive relationships due to a lack of economic independence particularly when they are in situations of poverty and marginalization.

Our grantee Family Awareness Consciousness Togetherness (FACT) provides training and income generation opportunities to women and others in situations of vulnerability to improve their socioeconomic conditions and resilience to disasters. Having economic options helps to keep participants safe.
