CRS' History in Guyana

In 2003, Catholic Relief Services placed a staff person in Guyana to manage the now completed AIDSRelief project. CRS has partnered with the Diocese of Guyana and other Church and non-Church partners, primarily on HIV and AIDS programs, civil society projects, emergency response and capacity building for the diocese. To date, activities have focused primarily in Georgetown, Berbice and Bartica, with some activities with the Jesuits in the hinterlands near the border with Brazil.
