Sandwiched between Annandale and Good Hope on the East Coast of Demerara, Lusignan, is a predomi-nantly Indian Guyanese community where most residents earn their livelihood in the farming and fishing industries, and some are employed by the public and private sectors. Several small-scale shops are scattered throughout the village and there is also a health facility to cater to the health needs of residents.

This community was brought to international attention following what has become known as the Lusignan Massacre,
