There is little doubt, at least in the opinion of the author and, perhaps, a wide cross section of Guyanese populace, that the deteriorating quality of Policing in Guyana can be directly linked to the quality of the political leadership that Guyana has been laboring under over the past 17 years.

Mission Statement

The Mark Benschop Foundation was officially launched in March 2008 by its founder and chairman Mark Benschop and other concerned Guyanese and well wishers in the United States of America. What started as a small operation geared toward helping those in need has grown so large that they were forced to move their offices to a whole building in East Street where the vast amount of people responding to their generosity could be accommodated.
