Georgetown, Guyana — July 28, 2025 Guyana Shore Base Inc. (GYSBI), the country’s largest shore base and logistics hub, has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting vulnerable children through the renewal of its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Joshua House Children’s Centre. This renewal forms part of First Lady, Arya Ali’s ‘Adopt-an-Orphanage’ Initiative, a national programme aimed at improving the lives of children in institutional care across Guyana.

The official signing took place on Friday, July 25, 2025 at State House, with GYSBI’s Public Relations Manager, Gomatie Gangadin, representing the company.

Since the programme’s launch in 2021, GYSBI has supported Joshua House Children’s Centre by providing direct financial sponsorship, facility upgrades, utility payments, staff salary assistance, and recreational activities for the children. The partnership has contributed meaningfully to creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive.

“Supporting Joshua House goes beyond financial contributions for GYSBI. We see it as an investment in the lives and futures of vulnerable children. We believe in the potential of every child and are proud to stand with them, year after year,” said Ms. Gangadin.

This ongoing relationship also reflects GYSBI’s commitment to building stronger, more compassionate communities through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In a tangible example of this impact, two young men who were raised at Joshua House and have now outgrown the home, are full-time employees at GYSBI working in the Maintenance and Operations Department, respectively.

As the Adopt-an-Orphanage Initiative enters its fourth phase, Joshua House is one of 11 children’s homes across the country set to benefit from renewed sponsorship over the next 12 months.

GYSBI remains honoured to be part of this transformative programme and looks forward to continuing its support for the welfare and success of the children at Joshua House.
