THE distribution of the $100,000 cash grant continued in Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica), reaching several communities along the highway and upper East Bank Demerara (EBD). The initiative, aimed at providing financial relief to families, has been progressing steadily, with additional distribution centres set to commence operations this week along the East Bank Demerara, East Coast Demerara, and in Georgetown.

Among the East Bank of Demerara communities benefitting from the cash grant are Soesdyke, Brickery, Support, New Hope, Craig, Little Diamond, Farm, Mocha, Arcadia, Perseverance, Prosperity, Timehri, Madewini, Hill Foot, Grant Sand Road, Caledonia, Pearl, Sarah Johanna, Friendship, Herstelling, Kuru Kururu, Wyacabra, Swan, Samatta Point, La Reconnaissance, Hararuni, Long Creek, Baracara, and Kuru Kuru.

On Wednesday, the distribution process continued smoothly along the coastal regions, with additional disbursements taking place in Albouystown, Bourda, Lamaha Springs, Lamaha Park, Stabroek, Agricola and at the Girl Guides’ headquarters in Georgetown. Officials overseeing the process have expressed satisfaction with the orderly and efficient rollout of the grants, ensuring that beneficiaries receive their funds without difficulty.

With distribution efforts expanding, more families across Region Four are expected to receive much-needed financial assistance in the coming days. Authorities have encouraged eligible recipients to stay updated on designated collection points and adhere to the guidelines to facilitate a seamless process.

Finance Secretary, Mr. Sukrishnalall Pasha, who visited several communities during the distribution exercise, commended the smooth and efficient process.

He stated: “The government remains committed to ensuring that every eligible household receives this much-needed financial support. We have witnessed a well-organised distribution process, and the positive feedback from beneficiaries reaffirms the impact of this initiative. This cash grant is another demonstration of our dedication to improving the lives of Guyanese families.”

Further, Pasha emphasised the necessity for beneficiaries to utilise the website to locate distribution centres for cheque retrieval while eligible persons who did not register are encouraged to do so at the nearest distribution centre in their area.
