Support for Communities

Guyana is located on South America’s North Atlantic coast, bordering Venezuela, Suriname, and Brazil. Guyana is an upper middle-income country according to the World Bank. In 2019, estimated inflation was below 2.5 percent with a 4.4 percent growth Gross Domestic Product (GDP). With the advent of first oil, the Guyanese economy is poised to become one of the best performing economies in the Western Hemisphere with an optimistic projected GDP growth rate in 2020 exceeding 50 percent.

Guyana offers both foreign and domestic potential investors a broad spectrum of investment choices, including agriculture, petroleum, construction, wholesale and retail, health, transportation, and agro-processing. Furthermore, opportunities exist within the services sector such as renewable energy, business process outsourcing (BPO), call centers, information technology services, hospitality, and tourism. Guyana is the only English-speaking country in South America and has a sizeable labor market, creating unique potential for call centers and other industries. The construction, wholesale and retail, transportation, and storage sectors experienced notable growth in 2019.

Guyana’s Green State Development Strategy, which was finalized in May 2019, serves as the guiding document for government priorities under the administration of President David Granger. These priorities include a focus on agriculture, supporting emerging and value-added industries, improving business climate, investing in sea defence, and transitioning to nearly 100 percent renewable energy.

Guyana continues to benefit from official development assistance from multiple donors with projects focused on health care, education, economic development, climate change adaptation, disaster mitigation, and citizen security.

— The Guyana Foundation Team

The Guyana Foundation depends on the generosity of its donors across the world to bring relief and assistance to Guyanese in need. 100% of all financial donations go directly to projects, and each donor is given a private code number that allows them to track where and how their contributions were used.
Project files are maintained at our headquarters in Guyana for each donation received, whether monetary or non-monetary, and these files are available to our donors upon request. We cover our administrative expenses through fundraisers, and with donations from our patrons.

GGA Supports the Guyana Foundation through donations and services of skilled qualified professionals.
