Hailing from a quiet corner in Crane, West Coast Demerara, Maureen Hope lives a life that embodies service, perseverance, and compassion. Recently conferred with the European Union Delegation’s Human Rights Award for her unwavering dedication to empowering the vulnerable, Hope, affectionately known as Miss Maureen, has spent 21 years improving the lives of countless individuals in her community and beyond.
Sitting down with Stabroek News, she humbly described herself as “a simple woman living in the Crane community for the past 38 years.” Hope moved to Crane after she was married and is now a mother of two and a grandmother of two. “I’m originally from Pouderoyen, West Bank,” she said. “I was a housewife before I really got into this. My desire was always to work with people. That is why I did social work.”
