Meet Arya Ali Reclaiming Land, Community, and Dignity in Guyana
As First Lady of Guyana, Arya Ali launched the National Beautification Project a bold environmental and economic initiative to revitalise public spaces, boost local pride, and protect natural ecosystems. Her vision connects conservation with economic opportunity, aiming to reshape how people relate to the land and each other. For Arya, protecting life on land is not just ecological it’s cultural, civic, and personal.
Caring for land is caring for identity, economy, and future generations.
