Happy to have TOMS Shoes!!
Guyana is a small developing country, with healthcare needs that surpass their resources, resulting in gaps in the fulfillment of healthcare needs in many areas, particularly in communities outside of the main cities. Guyana Medical Relief (GMR) is focused on trying to bridge the gap in these healthcare needs,
Our Beginning
Robert Farrell with the first shipment from GMR.
Guyana Medical Relief (GMR) was born in 1984 (incorporated in 1988) when a small group of concerned Guyanese living in Los Angeles, California became aware of the shortage of certain medical supplies in Guyana and decided to help address the needs. A partnership was developed with Direct Relief (DR) of Santa Barbara, a non-profit group that receives donated medical supplies and equipment and ships them all over the world.
Guyana Medical Relief (GMR) is a California public benefit non-profit 501 c(3) organization formed in 1984 by a group of Guyanese based in Los Angeles, California. The focus is to address the health-related needs of the people in all 10 regions of Guyana. Currently, GMR supports eight hospitals and satellite clinics in more remote regions.
We are one of the oldest US-based non-profits supporting Guyana managed by a volunteer Board of Directors and Operating Committee.
