President Ali leads rebuilding efforts for Karasabai homes

The 22 homes damaged by the devastating windstorm in Karasabai, Region Nine, are now receiving assistance for repairs and reconstruction.

President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali and Prime Minister Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips led teams from the Men on Mission, the Civil Defence Commission, and the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) to the area on Friday to facilitate these efforts.

Almost immediately following the storm on Sunday, November 3, the CDC ventured into the community with relief supplies such as food iteams and tarpaulin.

About seven families are expected to have their homes completely rebuilt, while the remainder will benefit from repair works.

Recognising the importance of having the Men on Mission play a key role in these efforts, President Ali reminded of the government’s mandate to support Guyanese in times of need.

“We are very pleased to be here. Our only mission is to make life better for every family [and] every Guyanese,” he asserted.

Earlier this month, Minister of Amerindian Affairs, Pauline Sukhai visited the area along with the CDC to assess the situation and make a recommendation to the cabinet.

Based on this recommendation, these families will now have their homes returned to them.
