This initiative was organised to uplift single mothers of the local and migrant community by providing them with essential support through capacity-building training sessions and the donation of care packages containing vital necessities.
In collaboration with Blossom Inc., we facilitated interactive training sessions designed to empower participants in three critical areas: sexual and reproductive health, financial literacy, and life skills. These sessions provided valuable knowledge and practical tools to help individuals make informed decisions about their well-being, effectively manage their finances, and develop essential skills to navigate everyday challenges. Equipping participants with these resources, aimed to foster independence, resilience, and long-term personal growth.

The Open Open Source Library project is an innovative initiative aimed at fostering literacy and promoting a culture of reading by installing Mini Libraries across various communities in Guyana. The project will make books more accessible, especially in public spaces and in areas with limited access to educational resources.
The first Mini Library was successfully installed at the Rotary Georgetown Central's Wellness Space in the National Park. The Libraries are designed to operate on a “Take a Book, Leave a Book” model, encouraging members of the public to freely borrow books and, in turn, contribute by placing a book in the library when possible. The goal is to create sustainable, community-driven spaces that nurture lifelong learning, foster curiosity, and build a sense of collective responsibility.
This project is a collaborative effort between the Rotaract Georgetown Central, Rotaract University of Guyana, and Rotaract Corriverton and is made possible through the generous sponsorship of our sponsor club's Immediate Past President, Mr. Peter Pompey and his team BACIF.
Whether you're an avid reader, a community enthusiast, or someone simply looking to give back, your support matters! If you’d like to donate books or contribute in any other way to this project, please reach out to Director Deen at 649-8907. Your generosity will help us expand this initiative and reach even more communities across Guyana.
