Welcome to Caribbean North Charities Foundation, fondly known as Caribbean North. Our journey began as Guyana Burn and Healthcare, a small group of dedicated volunteers committed to making a positive impact. Fuelled by compassion and a desire to give back, we focused our early efforts on aiding burn victims and improving burn care units in hospitals across Guyana and the Caribbean. Today, as a proud Canadian charity, our mission extends beyond borders, providing medical equipment, training for nurses, and comprehensive care for patients in need throughout the Caribbean.
