UNICEF last Friday handed over 100 water tanks to the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) to support the agency’s response to emergencies.
In a statement, UNICEF said the 450-gallon tanks would be distributed to households affected by flooding, as well as support the response to the COVID-19 pandemic by ensuring availability of water for infection prevention and control in key areas.
UNICEF Representative Nicolas Pron and United States Ambassador to Guyana Sarah-Ann Lynch handed over the tanks to CDC Director General Lieutenant Colonel Kester Craig at the CDC Headquarters.
