The United States has provided nearly US$4M for humanitarian assistance to Venezuelan migrants in Guyana, since 2017.
According to the US embassy in Georgetown, funding includes increasing Venezuelans’ access to legal status, promoting social integration in host communities, and improving support and access to social services.
Program Officer Rebecca Alvarado from the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration at the U.S. Department of State visited Guyana between Monday and Tuesday to meet with government officials from the Department of Citizenship, the United Nations and other international program partners.
“The visit underscores the U.S. commitment to assist vulnerable Venezuelans and host communities, complementing Guyana’s generous efforts to manage the impacts of the crisis in Venezuela by providing critical social services and protection,” the embassy said.
For a number of years now, thousands of Venezuelans have fled to Guyana and other countries in the region to escape hardship. An estimated 14,000 of the Venezuelans are in Guyana.
Hundreds of Guyanese living in Venezuela for years have also returned home from that oil-rich country which has been wracked by food and drug shortages and runaway inflation, crime and civil protests.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
