Over the years, many Guyanese cricketers benefitted from this project, many of them went on to represent West Indies at various levels.
This project will continue to improve the lives of youths in every community. We are pleased to be part of the development of young cricketers in Guyana. Our aim is to keep them off the streets and get them actively involved in sports, cricket in particular.

In addition to the above, gear with value of over $600,000 was donated by Sheik Mohamed, former National wicket keeper/batsman.
