PROJECT FLOW will soon be introduced in several schools across Guyana through a partnership involving Recover Guyana, The Greater Guyana Initiative and the Ministry of Education.
For several weeks, Recover Guyana, a non-profit organisation focused on creating opportunities that uplift lives while fostering environmental stewardship and long-term resilience, has actively been speaking about taking Project FLOW to several schools including JC Chandisingh Secondary School, Corentyne Comprehensive High School, Manchester Secondary School, Central Corentyne Secondary School, Black Bush Secondary School, Winifred Gaskin Memorial Secondary School, Upper Corentyne Industrial Training Centre, Tagore Memorial Secondary School, Skeldon High School, and the Skeldon Line Path Secondary School in Region Six; the Essequibo Islands Secondary School, Uitvlugt Secondary School, Leguan Secondary School, Vergenoegen Secondary School, Tuschen Secondary School, Parika Salem Secondary School, Zeeburg Secondary School, De Willem Secondary School, Stewartville Secondary School, Leonora Technical and Vocational Training Centre, Endeavour and The Commons Secondary School, Patentia Secondary School, Leonora Secondary School, Westminister Secondary School, and the L’Aventure Secondary School in Region Three, along with several others.
Recover Guyana’s mission is deeply rooted in the belief that everyone deserves the chance to thrive in harmony with their environment, and it works to connect resources, expertise, and compassion to drive meaningful change within these environments.
Project FLOW: National Water Purification and Sustainability Initiative for public secondary schools, Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) institutions and Special Needs Schools in Guyana, was launched in October last year, with the aim of providing access to clean water for over 58,000 students across Guyana.
According to the organisation, FLOW represents a significant national investment in education and environmental sustainability. Its overarching goal is to increase access to clean drinking water, promote reusable bottle use, and preserving the environment, while also positively impacting Guyana’s carbon footprint.
By the year 2030, it is projected to prevent some 25 million plastic bottles from entering local waterways and landfills and fostering a culture of environmental sustainability and stewardship among students and educators.
This June, several of the abovementioned schools will be implementing Project FLOW, providing clean water access to students.
Since its launch, Project FLOW has impacted 103 communities, saved over 60,000 plastic bottles, and trained 65 youths.
