## Resource

Guyana’s ‘Because We Care’ cash grant program is hitting its biggest stride yet in 2026, handing every child—public and private school—$85,000 to cover school prep costs, including a $60,000 cash boost, $5,000 for uniforms, and a brand-new $20,000 transportation grant. Education Minister Sonia Parag is urging parents to show up on school-scheduled days to claim their share before the new school year begins in September. This marks the largest payout since the program’s 2014 launch, now reaching nearly 206,000 kids and injecting millions into families. With ministers on the ground to ensure smooth distribution, the government is making a bold push to keep every child in class, no matter the cost.
