The Port Loyola Organization for Women – PLOW has been helping struggling women in the community for years. Well they finally have a proper facility to continue their outreach work. The Government of Belize and Opec Fund For International Development joined up to sponsor their new office. It was officially opened yesterday on Kraal Road and the Director General of OFID discussed the impact PLOW has had and will continue to have on Port women.

I like to highlight the effort of the organization PLOW, I kept following your activities and I think you are doing a wonderful job and without you I don't think this kind of noble work could be achieved, yes give them a big (CLAP) and this is why I am proud to highlight the role of women."
