The Massy Foundation has officially been launched in Guyana, expanding its regional footprint and bringing new opportunities for non-governmental organisations to access funding and support.

Established in 1979 by the Massy Group, the Massy Foundation is a charitable trust focused on investing in social and community development initiatives.

The Foundation already operates in Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados, and its expansion to Guyana signals a deepening commitment to regional development.

Through its annual grants programme, the Foundation provides financial and technical support to NGO-led projects that deliver meaningful impact across communities.

The organisation’s work is centred on key areas including education, youth development, health, arts and culture, and community empowerment.

Its overarching mission is to create value, transform lives, alleviate poverty, and promote sustainable development.

Several local organisations are set to benefit from the Foundation’s support, including the Guyana Girl Guides Association, Lotus Cancer Initiative, Rotary Club of Garden City, and Women Across Differences.

The launch of the Massy Foundation in Guyana is expected to strengthen grassroots development efforts and provide a timely boost to organisations working to improve lives across the country.

Different Backgrounds. One Vision.

Today, we celebrate the resilience of women who turn differences into strength. At Women Across Differences (WAD), we know that when women support women, barriers don’t just crack—they fall.

Let’s keep building bridges, breaking glass ceilings, and lifting as we climb.

As 16 days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence begin. Women Across Differences (WAD) extend this message to every women and girls

Your Screen, Her Safety: Let’s UNiTE to End Digital Violence!

The digital world promises connection, but for millions of women and girls, it has become a new frontier for Gender-Based Violence (GBV). From cyberstalking and non-consensual sharing of intimate images to cat fishing and mass online harassment, digital violence is a real-world threat that silences voices and destroys lives.

WAD say: for online abuse.

Be a responsible user. Do not share, forward, or laugh at harmful content. Report it immediately. Protect yourself.

Challenge misogyny and online hate when you see it. Your silence enables the abuse. Speak Up.

Let's reclaim the digital space as a place of empowerment, not a weapon of harm.

UNiTE. Act. End Digital Violence against Women and Girls
