Over the last three years, CIOG aided in 536 burials, 53 of which were free of cost, while 98 were partly paid for by relatives of the deceased.
Religious Adviser, Shaikh Moeen Ul Hack, extended gratitude for the donation, on behalf of the CIOG, and noted that “the kindness will assist CIOG in its mandate to help the people of Guyana”.
