Men on Mission (MOM) Initiative gave four new homes to residents of Awarewaunau Village, Region Nine, Guyana on Wednesday.

The program, led by President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali, aims to improve citizens’ lives with direct support. Three of the new homeowners are senior citizens. Eunice Francis, 73, Mildred Bernard, 61, and Josephin Augusto, 79, and one is Simone Griffith, an 18-year-old with a disability.

The Village Council requested help for Eunice Francis after she temporarily lost her sight, and Mildred Bernard received assistance after losing her husband and son. Josephin Augusto relies on her pension and occasional medical care following surgery twenty years ago. Roxanne Beck, the village leader, accepted the home intended for Simone Griffith, who could not attend the ceremony.

The MOM Initiative plans to continue providing aid to people facing hardship throughout Guyana, and the newly built homes demonstrate the program’s focus on restoring comfort and security. Rupununi Miners Association Chairperson Romel McKenzie helped with construction.
