Georgetown, Guyana, May 6th, 2022. GraceKennedy Money Services (GKMS Guyana) Ltd – home of Bill Express and Western Union – has risen to the challenge of supporting children living with autism through a cash donation to The Step by Step Foundation.

The Step by Step Foundation is a registered organization helping autistic children in Guyana to achieve their fullest potential, a mission that GKMS proudly embraces. The donation will assist the Foundation in its education and outreach initiatives to elevate the public’s understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by impairments in social interaction, communication and behaviour. Autism awareness month is observed in April each year with activities aimed at public sensitization and helping persons living with autism achieve the highest quality of life.

Commenting on the GKMS donation, Troy Williams, Country Manager, said: “Autism Spectrum Disorder is a much-misunderstood condition and therefore creating awareness is a top priority. We applaud Step by Step Foundation championing this cause with limited resources, and encourage others to join the mission via financial and other support.”

GKMS remains committed to ongoing community investment in areas where it can positively impact citizens. In 2021 the company supported a range of NGOs such as Guyana Cancer Foundation to aid in the fight against Breast Cancer; South Rupununi Conservation Society (SRCS) to further their mission to protect the environment; and Dream for Kids to spread Christmas cheer among children.
