Sol Guyana Inc. has been a part of the Agricola Community for more than 12 years with operations spanning across the country. At Sol, we are passionate about supporting the Caribbean and the communities in which we operate. After hearing the plea of Mrs. Elizabeth Williams – Niles, a teacher and concerned resident of the Agricola-Mc Doom Communities, Sol Guyana committed to support the ‘Agricola Children’s Back to School Youth Project’. Support was in the form of supplying 100 lunch bags and notebooks, and partnering with several other organizations who have also initiated Back to School Projects. A special thanks to groups such as the Rotaract Club of Georgetown, Rome Methodist Church, Soesdyke Community Policing Group, Eccles Assembly Outstation Sunday School and Rapture Ready Youth Group for their works in relation to community and youth development.

Sol Gas visits Linden, Guyana
The initiative to have a Sol Gas cylinder in every household in Guyana took the local Sol team to the mining town of Linden for two days. Residents were excited and welcoming as they had the opportunity to purchase a cylinder filled with Sol Gas and fittings for a reduced price. The Sol Gas truck was well surrounded by patrons who wanted to make sure they got to make at least one purchase. This activity gave Linden residents the chance to now own a gas cylinder and become a Sol customer. The promotion was considered a huge success, as many were inquiring of return dates and retail outlets.
