Reigning Miss Guyana World Rafieya Husain last Thursday presented a cheque to Help and Shelter to assist in the fight against domestic violence in Guyana.

In a simple handing over ceremony, Help and Shelter Coordinator Margaret Kertzious expressed gratitude for the donation and said it will help continue their efforts in eradicating domestic violence and giving support to victims.

Kosher also said that more young people with passion like Husain are needed in this fight.

Husain, whose platform at the local pageant was initial signs of domestic violence, noted that the cause is close to her heart since she was a victim herself.

She committed to the Coordinator that while this donation may be small, it is only the beginning as she is determined to use this platform to help people understand the seriousness of this social ill.

The young lady also pointed out that she will continue to seek help locally and internationally to aid in the fight against domestic violence.

Miss Guyana World,   is currently in Guyana for a number of outreach programmes as she prepares for the international pageant later this year in London.

The Guyana World organiser focuses on raising money for charities and mirroring the role and spirit of Miss World at a national level. Under new Directorship since 2013, Miss Guyana World holds its annual pageant to identify young Guyanese women who exemplify beauty, talent, intelligence and compassion.
