Who We Are

The Guyana Women Miners Organization (GWMO) is a non-governmental organization committed to ensuring that women are able to access, participate in, and benefit equitably from Guyana’s mineral resources; the patrimony of all Guyanese.

We work across the mining ecosystem, supporting women at every level, from operators and service providers to those navigating informal systems; many of whom remain unseen, unprotected, and underserved.Our work addresses the social, economic, environmental, and safety conditions that shape the lives of women, their families, and their communities.
