Guyana case study: Wapichan nao (people) stand strong and resilient through the COVID-19 pandemic
16 Dec 2020
Collaborating with the district hospital and the police, the SRDC embarked on several activities to protect their communities. They worked with communities to educate and raise awareness to ensure that Wapichan people across the 21 villages have up-to-date and accurate information about the pandemic; they blocked 15 illegal border crossings between Guyana and Brazil; and they monitored checkpoints and gates into Wapichan territory.
