- Guyana Chapter
Overview
Having successfully managed Farmer-to-Farmers programs since 2013. Additionally, we have successfully managed three grant funding Shadehouse projects granted under the auspices of IDB/MIF Program and Japanese Trust Fund. We have also successfully managed a grant fund from the Guyana Dairy Development Program. On all these programs Funders were extremely pleased with our results.
We are fully committed to volunteerism and seek every opportunity to promote the partnership. We are presently conducting a hydroponic (shade house) project which is being funded by a grant from Inter American Development Bank. The Guyana Chapter would love to network with other partnerships in the United States, Central America, and the Caribbean.
