International News: 114-year-old Guyanese grandmother receives new home from Guyana’s billionaire entrepreneur

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Guyana is celebrating its oldest citizen, Lillian Elliot who will celebrate her 115^th birthday on July 31.

Guyanese billionaire entrepreneur Azruddin Mohammed provided a new home for Elliot.

According to Medium.com, Mohamed expressed deep emotions, describing the project as one of the most heart-touching endeavors he has undertaken in his humanitarian work.

Mohamed reportedly saw a video of Elliot on social media urgently seeking assistance to replace their vulnerable home, which was at risk of collapsing due to high winds in the area.

Team Mohamed immediately extended support to the family.

Born and raised in St. Monica along the Pomeroon River, Elliot endured hardships after her husband’s passing, relying on farming to provide for her 11 children, two of whom have since passed away.

Despite facing adversity, Elliot’s strength and determination shone through, and she eventually relocated to Mashabo with her daughter, Norma Elstob, and her family.

In Mashabo, Elliot remains an integral part of the community, lovingly referred to as “granny” by locals. Despite her age, she remains active and independent, with a zest for life.

In addition to providing Elliot with a new home, Mohamed also established a small business for her family to ensure she receives the care she deserves.

Mohamed recently visited Mashabo to meet Elliot personally and was deeply honored to spend time with Guyana’s oldest citizen. During their interaction, Elliot graciously shared her wisdom on living a long and healthy life.
