Food For The Poor  (FFTP) (Guyana) Inc has partnered with its sister organization in Canada to launch the Baramita Literacy Project – ‘Empowering Women and Girls through Literacy and Numeracy’ in Baramita, Region 1.

A release from the charity said that the project was launched at the Baramita Primary School and will be completed in August 2024.

The project will benefit 30 women and girls from the community  who have never attended school or lack basic foundational literacy and numeracy skills. At the launching each participant was given a package which comprised of one bag, books, pencils, eraser, sharpener and crayons.
