Food for the Poor (FFP) Guyana last week Thursday distributed solar panels packages to 150 households in Region Six that were not connected to the national electricity grid.

The donation was made after Alex Foster, President of St Francis Community Developers engaged Region Six Chairman David Armogan and Vice Chairman Bhopaul Jagroo on the issue. Residents were overjoyed to receive the packages as the panels will allow them to save money on fuel for generators while providing electrical lights.

The communities that benefited from the project are Mara, Plegt Anker,
