GRACEKENNEDY Money Services Limited (GKMS), on Friday, donated money to the Step-by-Step Foundation To support children living with autism.
The foundation is a registered organisation that helps autistic children in Guyana achieve their fullest potential, a mission that GKMS proudly embraces.

According to a press release, the donation will assist the foundation in its education and outreach initiatives to elevate the public’s understanding of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) – a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by impairments in social interaction, communication and behavior.

“Autism spectrum disorder is a much-misunderstood condition and therefore creating awareness is a top priority. We applaud Step-by-Step Foundation championing this cause with limited resources, and encourage others to join the mission via financial and other support,” Troy Williams, Country Manager of GMKS said.

GKMS remains committed to ongoing community investment in areas where it can positively impact citizens.

In 2021, the company supported a range of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) such as the Guyana Cancer Foundation to aid in the fight against breast cancer; South Rupununi Conservation Society (SRCS) to further their mission to protect the environment; and Dream for Kids to spread Christmas cheer among children
