The Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry Limited (GBTI) has gathered almost $2M through the GBTI Hurricane Relief Fund – Bahamas which was initiated shortly after Hurricane Dorian ravaged sections of the island chain early in September.
The Bank immediately committed a substantial three million dollars and encouraged its customers, staff and members of the public to join the relief efforts by donating to the Fund.
A release from GBTI today said that the fund was closed on October 1 and the monies raised were today handed over to the Civil Defence Commission which is coordinating the national support efforts here.
GBTI donated its three million dollars directly to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) of The Bahamas to also aid their relief efforts.
GBTI expressed its gratitude to all those who contributed to the Fund.
