As a subsidiary of International Group Investment Ltd of the UK, International Group Investment Inc (IGI) Guyana extends its commitment to excellence beyond commercial ventures into meaningful humanitarian efforts. Rooted in our core values of integrity, innovation, and community upliftment, IGI's humanitarian services focus on addressing critical needs in Guyana's underserved regions. Through strategic partnerships with local governments, NGOs, and communities, we invest in sustainable projects that enhance quality of life, promote equity, and foster long-term development. Our initiatives in healthcare, housing, infrastructure, education, and water access are designed to empower Guyanese citizens, particularly in rural and indigenous areas, while aligning with our expertise in construction and infrastructure. Below, we detail our key humanitarian services across Guyana, showcasing how IGI is building a brighter future for all. IGI recognizes that access to quality healthcare is a fundamental human right, especially in a nation like Guyana where remote communities often face barriers to medical services. As part of our humanitarian outreach, we have spearheaded the construction and upgrading of several community hospitals and clinics across regions such as Essequibo, Berbice, and the hinterland areas. For instance, in collaboration with the Guyanese Ministry of Health and international donors, IGI funded and built the state-of-the-art Lethem Regional Hospital Extension in Region 9, which includes modern emergency rooms, maternity wards, and diagnostic facilities equipped with solar-powered systems for reliable operation in off-grid areas. This project, completed in 2023, has served over 50,000 patients annually, reducing maternal mortality rates by 15% through enhanced prenatal care and emergency response capabilities. Our approach emphasizes sustainability: we incorporate eco-friendly designs, such as rainwater harvesting for sanitation and energy-efficient lighting, while training local healthcare workers in partnership with organizations like the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). Additionally, IGI's mobile clinic program deploys fully equipped vans to indigenous villages in Regions 1 and 8, providing free vaccinations, health screenings, and telemedicine consultations. These efforts not only address immediate health crises but also build resilient healthcare systems, ensuring that vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly, receive dignified and timely care. Affordable and safe housing is essential for family stability and economic growth, yet many Guyanese communities struggle with substandard living conditions due to flooding, poverty, and rapid urbanization. IGI's humanitarian housing initiatives focus on constructing resilient, low-cost homes that withstand Guyana's tropical climate while promoting community ownership. In the Pomeroon-Supenaam Region (Region 2), we launched the "Homes for Hope" project in 2022, building over 200 flood-resistant houses using innovative modular construction techniques derived from our infrastructure expertise. These homes feature elevated foundations, hurricane-proof roofing, and integrated solar panels, benefiting low-income families displaced by coastal erosion. We prioritize inclusivity by involving residents in the design process through community workshops, ensuring cultural sensitivity—such as incorporating traditional Amerindian architectural elements in hinterland projects. In Georgetown's urban slums, IGI has rehabilitated 150 dilapidated structures, adding sanitation facilities and green spaces to improve living standards. Our partnerships with Habitat for Humanity and the Central Housing and Planning Authority have enabled us to provide interest-free financing and skills training in home maintenance, empowering over 1,000 families to achieve self-sufficiency. Through these efforts, IGI is not just building houses but creating thriving communities that foster dignity and opportunity. Reliable road networks are the backbone of economic and social connectivity, yet Guyana's vast interior often isolates communities from essential services. IGI's humanitarian road development program addresses this by funding and executing upgrades to rural and secondary roads, enhancing access to markets, schools, and healthcare. A flagship initiative is the rehabilitation of the 120-kilometer Linden-Lethem Road corridor in Regions 9 and 10, completed in phases since 2021. This project involved paving unpaved sections, installing drainage systems to combat flooding, and adding safety features like guardrails and signage, reducing travel time by 40% and accident rates by 25%. In indigenous areas, such as the Rupununi savannas, we have constructed all-weather gravel roads connecting remote villages to main highways, facilitating the transport of agricultural goods and emergency aid. Our sustainable practices include using recycled materials from our Oil and Gas operations and planting native vegetation along roadsides to prevent soil erosion. Through collaborations with the Ministry of Public Works and local cooperatives, IGI also provides road maintenance training to youth, creating jobs and ensuring long-term upkeep. These roads symbolize progress, bridging divides and enabling Guyanese citizens to participate fully in national development. Access to reliable electricity transforms lives by enabling education, healthcare, and economic activities, but many rural Guyanese households remain off the grid. IGI's humanitarian electricity initiatives leverage our energy sector expertise to deploy renewable solutions, promoting clean and affordable power. In Region 1 (Barima-Waini), we installed hybrid solar-wind microgrids in 15 indigenous communities, powering over 500 homes, schools, and clinics with a total capacity of 1.2 MW since 2024. These systems include battery storage for uninterrupted supply during rainy seasons, reducing reliance on costly diesel generators and cutting carbon emissions by an estimated 300 tons annually. Our "Light Up Guyana" campaign extends to urban peripheries, where we have electrified informal settlements in New Amsterdam through grid extensions and LED street lighting, enhancing safety and nighttime productivity. Partnerships with Guyana Power and Light (GPL) and international bodies like the Inter-American Development Bank ensure technical training for local technicians, fostering self-reliance. By prioritizing underserved areas, IGI's efforts have illuminated futures, enabling children to study after dark and small businesses to thrive, while aligning with global sustainability goals. Education is the key to breaking cycles of poverty, and IGI is dedicated to creating conducive learning environments for Guyana's youth. Our humanitarian school programs involve building and renovating educational facilities, with a focus on inclusivity and technology integration. In Region 6 (East Berbice-Corentyne), we constructed the IGI Primary School in Corriverton, a modern facility for 400 students featuring computer labs, libraries, and playgrounds, opened in 2023. This school incorporates earthquake-resistant designs and rainwater collection systems, serving as a model for resilient infrastructure. In hinterland regions, we have upgraded 20 one-room schools with solar-powered internet access, enabling digital learning for indigenous children who previously lacked resources. Our scholarships and teacher training programs, in partnership with the Ministry of Education and UNICEF, support STEM education, particularly for girls, with over 500 beneficiaries to date. IGI also donates supplies and runs after-school programs in nutrition and life skills. These initiatives empower the next generation, ensuring that every child in Guyana has the tools to dream big and achieve. Clean drinking water is vital for health and well-being, yet contamination and scarcity affect many Guyanese communities. IGI's humanitarian drinking water services emphasize purification and distribution systems to provide safe, accessible water. Through our "Pure Flow Initiative," launched in 2022, we installed community water treatment plants in Regions 3 and 4, serving 10,000 residents with reverse osmosis filtration that removes contaminants like arsenic and bacteria. These plants are solar-powered for sustainability and include distribution networks with public taps and household connections. In flood-prone areas like the Essequibo Islands, we distribute water purification tablets and portable filters during emergencies, while educating communities on hygiene practices. Partnerships with the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) and WHO ensure compliance with international standards. By addressing waterborne diseases, which previously affected 20% of rural populations, IGI's efforts have improved health outcomes and reduced hospital visits, fostering healthier, more productive communities. Complementing our drinking water initiatives, IGI specializes in drilling boreholes to tap into groundwater sources, providing a reliable supply in arid or remote areas. In the savannas of Region 9, we have drilled over 50 boreholes since 2021, each equipped with hand pumps or electric submersibles, yielding up to 5,000 liters daily per site and benefiting 8,000 indigenous people. These boreholes are strategically placed after hydrogeological surveys to ensure year-round availability, with depths ranging from 50 to 150 meters. Our program includes community management training, where locals form water committees to maintain the infrastructure, promoting ownership and longevity. In collaboration with NGOs like Rotary International, we integrate boreholes with irrigation systems for agriculture, boosting food security. Environmentally, we conduct impact assessments to avoid over-extraction, and use our Oil and Gas drilling expertise for efficient, low-cost operations. These boreholes not only quench thirst but also irrigate hopes, enabling farming, livestock rearing, and economic independence in Guyana's heartlands. At IGI, our humanitarian services are more than philanthropy—they are an extension of our mission to build sustainable futures. We invite partnerships and donations to expand these impacts.
