EDWARD B. Beharry & Company Limited, yesterday, handed over $6.5M towards the ‘Beharry Build’ partnership with Habitat for Humanity.

The sum was raised in the first half of the venture for which each ‘Chico’, ‘Champion’ or ‘Indi’ branded product sold, Habitat Guyana will receive one Guyana dollar.
The partnership was launched in July 2013 and has since realised a gross of $6.52M to support the provision of affordable housing for extremely vulnerable Guyanese families.
Edward B. Beharry & Co. Ltd has been in operation since 1937 and produces an extensive range of internationally certified products, including spices, noodles, confectionery, baking products and pasta.
Mr. Anand Beharry, Chairman of the Beharry Company said the venture is not a marketing one but a way for the company to give back to its community.
The partnership seeks to support the development of Guyanese families, one house at a time and also marks the largest local scheme Habitat has undertaken collaboratively since its doors opened here in 1995, Mr. Rawle Small of Habitat stated.
