Mothers’ Union launches mobile food unit

Jan 22, 2009 News

The Mothers’ Union had a grand opening of its mobile food unit on Tuesday outside the St George’s Cathedral.
This project will be used to sustain the Mothers’ Union Parenting Groups in the communities, with emphasis on depressed communities, and provide ‘start-up funds’ for Mothers’ Union projects in depressed communities.
The initial cost of the food unit was $1.4M, but through the generosity of Chief Executive Officer of JR Burger, Jad Rahaman, the cost was reduced to $1M. This unit will benefit Mothers’ Union members directly through the provision of jobs in the food unit, school children through the availability of low cost meals and snacks, for Mothers’ Union branches and post- parenting groups to conduct community projects and programmes.
This will especially benefit in the initiative in interior locations and assistance in obtaining resource material for existing Mothers’ Union parenting group sessions.
Present on Tuesday was the Dean of the Cathedral, Rev. Terry Davis.
The Mothers’ Union Provincial President, Leila Austin, served the first meal to the Dean, The Diocesan Mothers’ Union President, Sheran Harper; Jad Rahaman, members of the clergy, and nearly 200 Mothers’ Union members from branches throughout Guyana.
The Christian service of the Mothers’ Union started in Guyana in 1926, and today boasts a membership of over 2,000 Christian women in 86 branches along the coast and in the interior areas of the country.
Operating as a social entrepreneur, the Mothers’ Union, Diocese of Guyana combines creativity, business discipline and determination to address social issues.
