The fight to curb the scourge of suicides in Guyana was in focus when on Wednesday, the International Development & Relief Foundation (IDRF) showcased its CA$2.9 million “Safeguarding the Human Dignity and Rights of Populations at Risk for Ill-Mental Health in Vulnerable Com-munities across Guyana” (SPAR) project, a Canadian High Commission release stated yesterday.
The event was held at the Marriott Hotel, Georgetown, and according to the release, it reinforced Canada’s footprint in the local health sector, as well as IDRF’s impact on mental health initiatives in the region.
The IDRF is described on its website as a non-profit organisation in Canada working around the world for international development and relief programmes based on Islamic principles.
