He thanked Famsa Director Marcelle Victor and her team for good financial management.

Chetty said Famsa will do more fundraising projects next year. Famsa hosted its first golf day this year, and the board plans to make it a yearly event. Victor said Famsa expanded its services and reached many families.

“Our two main events each year are family day and marriage week,” said Victor.
