Prime Minister’s Office establishes account for Haiti aid at Republic Bank

In keeping with the Government’s commitment to taking swift and robust action in

response to  the  recent devastating earthquake in  our  sister CARICOM state of  the Republic of Haiti, and following on the heels of a direct telephone conversation last Saturday between His Excellency Dr. Mohammed Irfaan Ali, and the newly appointed Haitian Prime Minister, the Honourable Dr. Ariel Henry, the Office of the Prime Minister today established a humanitarian account with Republic Bank (Guyana) Limited, in the name of the Civil Defence Commission.

The OPM will be working closely with our civil society, private sector and other partners to quickly raise funds for a coordinated, substantial relief response for the affected people of Haiti.

Guyana’s resolve to stand in solidarity in good and bad times with our CARICOM brothers and sisters across the region remains steadfast. As we have done in the past, we will combine energies and resources to meet this latest humanitarian challenge to bring comfort and relief to our Haitian brothers and sisters as quickly as possible.

We ask that Guyanese in the diaspora join our efforts to provide substantial relief through

our collective response.
