First Step, a non-profit organisation, was formed in January by Devindra Singh, a Guyanese-born Canadian citizen who has been living in the North American country for 16 years.

Singh cites his motivation to start the project as growing up in Guyana and being “underprivileged” and not being able to afford certain necessities to attend school.
