Men on Mission has helped more than 160 families through homes it built, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said. It said over 400 households received materials to repair their homes.

DPI published the figures on 18 October 2026.

About 150 children take part in its weekday activities, DPI said. These include feeding, mentorship and homework help.

Ahead of 2023, President Ali set the initiative a goal of at least 150 homes for vulnerable people who already owned their house lots. He said he hoped it could "build at least 150 homes across the country."

The High Commission of Guyana in South Africa, republishing Guyana news, reported that Men on Mission launched its first Youth Empowerment and Mentorship Programme in May 2024. It began with 40 children from Georgetown communities, the report said.
