NGO receives help from Canada
The Belmopan based NGO Help for Progress today received a helping hand from the government of Canada. Canadian Honourary Consul Lester Young presented a cheque for $65,000 to the organisation’s programme director, Elias Awe. The money will be used to purchase a vehicle and office equipment to assist Help’s rural development projects as well as a new initiative to agitate for changes in national policies which affect women. This advocacy programme will involve the Toledo Maya Women’s Council, Cotton Tree Women’s Group and the Las Orquideas Women’s Group of Indian Church Village.
