This is the latest in a series of activities undertaken by the U.S. Embassy to support efforts to combat domestic violence in Guyana.
The HAP Team Director, Marcus Reeder, addressed guests during the generator donation ceremony and emphasized U.S. support for community organizations that seek to improve the lives of Guyanese citizens in the face of domestic violence.
DVCC Director, Dr. Vishalya Scharma, also delivered remarks, noting that domestic violence has been on the rise in Guyana for the last several years, and stressed the need for a response.
Regional Democratic Chairman for Region Six, David Armogan also told guests of the DVCC about the importance of having a domestic violence center.
Several representatives of community organizations attended the generator donation ceremony, including the Upper Corentyne Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Roadside Baptist Church, and local government officials.
