Miss World Guyana Rafieya Husain on Diwali Day commissioned a spanking new $3 million outreach centre at Three Friends Village on the Essequibo Coast, to aide in the fight against domestic violence.
The building was rehabilitated, repainted and toilet facilities were constructed through the kind sponsorship of Mohammed Ramzan Ali Khan, Torgional Paints, GuyAmerica Construction and Twins Manufacturing Chemist.
Miss Husain, who won the Miss World Guyana title on February 23, during her campaign to become queen had promise to establish an outreach centre to help in the fight against domestic violence.
Her goal was to raise US$10,000 to open an outreach centre in Region Two; however, she has surpassed the amount, acquiring an addition of $1.5 million, compliments of Mohammed Ramzan Ali Khan.
The beauty said the centre was built in memory of her grandfather’s legacy, the late Shaffeek Khan, who was once Regional Executive Officer of Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam).
Husain said the outreach centre will be empowering women and teenagers to curb social ills in society.
