Part of Natasha Daly’s mission is to seek to persuade the private sector as a whole to pay more attention to social causes that enhance the quality of the Guyanese society and by extension create an enabling environment in which business can better thrive. She contends, for example, that if children can secure their schooling in a more convivial environment, buttressed where necessary by the subsidy of a business community imbued with a spirit of corporate social responsibility then the Guyana society will be all the better prepared to host a successful business community.
Few issues, Daly believes, warrant more attention than enhancing the self-esteem of young girls in a society where emotional and physical abuse of women has become commonplace and where the retrieval of self-esteem is often beyond the capacity of the local social services.
Much of the crisis facing young girls, Daly says, reposes in a school system that offers no solutions to what are often problems of self-esteem.
