Beharry, Habitat partnering to build low income homes

Jun 20, 2013 News

Edward B. Beharry Limited (EBB) and Habitat for Humanity Guyana Inc. (Habitat Guyana) have partnered to raise funds for the construction of homes for low income families.
The ‘Beharry Build’ project will be launched tomorrow at the Edward B Beharry & Co. Ltd Training Facility located at 191 Charlotte Street, Georgetown from 10:30am.
This 12-month partnership will see Habitat Guyana receiving a portion of funds raised from the sale of Edward B Beharry products such as Chico, Champion, and Indi. The monies raised will contribute to Habitat’s efforts to alleviate poverty housing through its community
development initiatives inclusive of youth empowerment programs, disaster response and recovery training, and the like.
The EBB/Habitat relationship will be one characterized by corporate responsibility in an atmosphere of collaboration to further the prospect of Guyanese families realizing the joy of home ownership.
Edward B Beharry & Co. Ltd. has been in operation since 1937. Starting from humble beginnings the company is now one of the largest food manufacturing and distribution companies in the Caribbean. The organization has an extensive range of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certified products include Spices, Noodles, Confectionery, Baking Products and Pasta.
The company’s distribution area includes Suriname, Trinidad and most of the Caribbean, and also extends to North America.
Beginning its work since 1994 following an invitation from then President Dr. Cheddi Jagan, Habitat for Humanity, Guyana was officially registered in Guyana in 1995. Since then the organization has supported more than 3000 families within the country’s ten administrative regions, through partnerships with affiliates, home partners, volunteers and sponsors to build simple, decent and affordable housing for low income earners.
The organization has undertaken home repairs, rehabilitation works, and assisted in accessing secure tenure.
With a new programme direction added, focus will be placed on community development, disaster risk reduction, and social action and awareness. Via resource centres the organization seeks to make a stronger impact on communities through training, mobilization, and planning of various community driven projects.
