This year’s Support Education Campaign (SEC) was a success thanks to the immense support ushered in by local sponsors and the Guyanese diaspora. Although GEPAN had initially targeted two hundred and twenty-five (225) children from nine (9) villages, we were able to cater for thirty-six (36) additional beneficiaries, adding two (2) extra villages to the list. This brings the total of beneficiaries since the programme was launched in 2016, to 410.

We at the organisation are grateful for the incredible support from local businesses and philanthropic individuals, who have shown how the spirit of charity and goodwill can empower children in Guyana. Since the organisation was founded in 2016, this steady and reliable support from our sponsors has allowed us to extend the scope of our work, especially in rural communities.

We would like to thank our sponsors and all those who through their invaluable support, have joined us in our mission as we set out to positively impact the lives of Guyana’s future generations.

Sponsors of our Region #2 Events

 Mr Autar, son, family & friends

“As a Guyanese living abroad, having a means to give back to the Guyanese community is a welcomed opportunity. My brethren and I are thankful for the avenue to assist, and through GEPAN’s Support Education Campaign, this was a great way to do so. The resulting smiles on those children’s faces brought joy to our group here in Canada. It is evident our donations were well spent. I would certainly encourage those who are able, to support GEPAN so that they may continue to do the great work  they have been been doing so well for the past 2 years. As they say, “charity begins at home” and Guyana will always be home to me! Keep up the great work!”

GEPAN would like to thank those of the Canada group, including Messrs. Antoine, Jaffri, Vojvodic, Borges and Johnson. We’re humbled by your kindness.

Mr Rickford & family

“I support GEPAN because of its mission to empower and reach out to children across Guyana.”
