We're right here for you.

The Grandad Jak Coconut Group is a subgroup of the Dartmouth Community Movement (DCM), a community organization created to achieve village revitalization. It aims to contribute vitally to the Guyanese village economy through the revitalizing of the coconut industry. The Group originated in April of 2015 and arose from the combined initiative of two women of very different backgrounds—a university lecturer from Georgetown, the capital city, and a craftswoman originally from the Pomeroon River, Essequibo. The project has contributed to a re-emergence of resilience and self-reliance. Its expansion to include two more families in less than four months speaks volumes for its economic and cultural potential. Within the eight months since its inception, the group has brought a significant, almost miraculous change to the expectations of the village. Traditional technologies and knowledge attending to the production have emerged to put on the local market on a small scale, a product that is once again being valued for its versatility and health value. Since the first 1 ½ gallon produced in April of 2014 by the two women and the later inclusion of two more women, the desires to hold families together, to engage the youth meaningfully in the revitalization of their village and to develop family farms have become tangible realities to be aimed for over inertia and despair. Between November and December of 2015, the combined group of three families produced approximately 98 gallons of virgin coconut oil.
Cultural revivals that go beyond ceremony and rhetoric must be deeply rooted in economic independence and relevant education. In a sister country, Belize, revolutionary change is taking place without the gun: See
