Non-profit organization Incredible U spearheaded by Mrs India Guyana 2019 Kristal Inshan is on a mission to improve the lives of impoverished families. The organization will this month reach out to such families at East Berbice and Bartica.
Incredible U was founded a year ago and has been able to execute over ten charitable donation drives in Guyana and three in India. Several orphanages, along with a number of families in rural areas, benefited from these donations over the last year. Last month, in collaboration with the Miss India Guyana Organization, it presented donations to the Shaheed’s Boys and Girls Orphanages.
This month, the organization will be looking to cater for donations for 20 families and will commence with five families at East Berbice. Along with providing the less fortunate with physical necessities, Incredible U will also be facilitating empowerment sessions for persons in Region 6 and Region 7. However, this is only phase one of this month’s project. In the second phase, it hopes to assist two other local orphanages. It credits kind donors with helping make its projects successful.
In a previous interview with The Scene, Kristal had shared that as a child there were many days when she had little to eat and sometimes nothing at all. There were days she went to school without breakfast and she was bullied for being poor and for showing up to school wearing hand-me-down Power Ranger boots and a backpack from a son of the family her father worked for. Though her father worked, most of his wages were wasted on alcohol.
Despite her hard life, Kristal was determined to make a better life for herself and her son. Today she is a fashion icon, an entrepreneur, an international model, a reigning beauty queen and the founder of her own charitable non-profit organization.
It is because of her personal experiences with hardship that she is set on making a difference for other children and their families through Incredible U. She is a big believer in the notion that those who believe in God, work wholeheartedly and have not yet lost hope will one day conquer poverty.
