First Lady Arya Ali has announced that through Phase Five of the Adopt-an-Orphanage Initiative, sponsorship has been secured for 11 orphanages for the next 12 months.
The sponsorship will cover a range of essential expenses, including utilities, repairs and maintenance, transportation, as well as the provision of services such as healthcare and recreational activities.
Launched in 2021 with support for eight orphanages, the initiative has since expanded to include 11 homes.
According to the First Lady, the growth of the programme is a testament to the power of collective action and meaningful partnerships, which have enabled orphanages across Guyana to continue their vital mission.
The 11 homes that will receive support over the next 12 months are: A Sanctuary Children’s Home, Bless the Children Home, Save R Kids, Hope Children’s Home, Joshua House Children’s Centre, Prabhu Sharan Orphanage, Red Cross Children’s Convalescent Home, Ruimveldt Children’s Home and Care Center, Shaheed’s Boys’ Orphanage, Shaheed’s Girls’ Orphanage, and St. John’s Bosco Orphanage.
