As an institution, the programs of FAOG extend beyond its membership and neighbouring communities to communities and households all across Guyana, regionally and internationally. These programs include academic and skills training, counseling, recreation, missionary assignments and support for the needy and destitute.

Over the years, the, number of households experiencing the hardships of poverty across Guyana had significantly increased. Fundamental access to education, recreation and three essential meals per day are swiftly loosing importance as the heads of households struggle to provide extremely basic amenities for family members.

Concomitantly, increasing demands have been placed on FAOG to expand its programs in response to the needs of beneficiaries.
