Over 350 small businesses set up as second phase of HEYS ends.

July 9, 2017

More than 350 small businesses have been established under the Hinterland Employment Youth Service (HEYS), as the second phase of the programme comes to an end, according to the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples Affairs.

It was also recognized that despite challenges in terms of remoteness of some of the villages, the youth were able to demonstrate that working together is a no-brainer since several of the groups established were able to successfully execute projects

Among the businesses established were several grocery shops, poultry production, pig and small ruminants’ production, boutiques, internet café, furniture manufacturing and eco-tourism destinations.

Responding to what is

considered a “laudable achievement,” Minister within the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples Affairs Valerie Garrido-Lowe, who has direct responsibility for youth development, said, “I am very proud that the indigenous youth grasped the opportunity to actually establish businesses within their communities. This, of course, was due to the fact that the BYOB [Be Your Own Boss] training was part of the programme; hence, youth were able to identify business opportunities that can prove successful within their own villages. I have visited several villages and was amazed at the various businesses that were in operation, either in groups or individually.”

With this aspect of the programme coming to an end, the minister said, “I wish them well and encourage them to focus, do not give up and do not be afraid to explore new business ideas, especially within the tourism industry.”

As a spinoff of the HEYS programme, the Sun Dried Tomato Project, a sustainable, green economic initiative undertaken in Paramakatoi, Region Eight, which is unique to the hinterland, is expected to open its facility shortly but is currently creating employment for more than 50 farmers.

Under the careful guidance of the Chief Coop Officer from the Ministry of Social Protection, a Farmers’ Cooperative has been formed and their first harvest will be in August and more than 30 persons have already been trained in food/ agro processing by the Board of Industrial Training and are now eagerly awaiting their stint in the processing facility,” Garrido-Lowe explained.

The flagship HEYS programme, which was rolled out a year ago, saw 1,872 youth from 112 indigenous villages across the ten administrative regions being given the opportunity to discover how they can operate in any environment, while learning several skills.

“The curriculum supported the intellectual growth of the nation’s indigenous youth while also offering them an opportunity for moral development through the capacity building core curriculum. The programme ensured they channelled their energies to improving their personal development and was wholly positive since they were able to match and in most cases exceed the ambitious goals in identifying their strengths, interests, challenges, teamwork, building trust and more so allowing them to become financially independent,” the statement said.

The second phase of the HEYS program is expected to be rolled out shortly in 100 villages in Regions One, Seven, Eight and Nine, it added.

Slop can boy, the title of the thread is misleading. Which is the Indian party, Roar?

I was going to say the same thing.  Had to read the article twice.  I would just chalk this one up to lack of basic education and reading skills.  These hypocrites are really outdoing themselves on the nonsense chart.

Both of us know that the PNC is dragging the country in the dirt.  Even the PNC supporters have acknowledged that.  As Gilbaka once said- rightfully- you are emitting slop.  And there is a lunatic cheering you on from the sideline.

The Low IQ club!

What is your qualification as per political insight? A monthly paycheck for carrying slop can while you hide away in the US? Look how you and the slop can crew got rid of Gilly and bring in Lilmohan as reinforcement for slop can duties.  Gilly ketch sense and start criticizing PNC and he was forced out of the slop can crew.  The PnC prey on the under educated to carry their propaganda. Lilmohan, tola, warrior and yourself are good examples, similar to how the skin heads and suicide bombers are recruited from the under educated masses who are easily brainwashed into indoctrination of the paymasters.  

I have skin in the game in Guyana, the more you pnc crooks screw up the country, the less successful my investments. And this rings true for the majority of businesses.

Typical of Piss Pot Porters always questioning ones qualification,the rest is usual tripe.

You should have done your home work before investing,instead of bitching ,Guyana have risk in some investments,it's all in the game sometimes you gain and sometimes you loose.The PNC will be in Government for a while.

Did i say you don't have political insights,it appears it holds true.

The under educated like yourself are used as pawns by evil puppeteers. They first brainwash you and then give you a slopcan and a shovel to carry forth their propaganda.

I have been in business for over 30 years in Guyana dummy.   You on the other hand are a neva see come fuh see.

No PPP.  This was said by Jagdeo and Rohee.  In addition Bibi and the rest have mental breakdowns every time some Indian declares that they donrt agree with the PPP.  If an Indian doesn't like the PPP they become a traitor in the eyes of many.

Your hero Jagdeo said on several occasions that the PPP supporter is a rural Indian. Rohee then said that this plus its mainly Indian leadership means that the PPP is an Indian party.

Like you didn't get that press release!

True PNC supporters say that the PNC is just as bad as the PPP was.
