Manager of the Credit Union, Lieutenant Colonel Greasels Hinckson said that she is passionate about the initiative and satisfied with the strides in this regard, moreso the disbursement of the first two cheques at this occasion of the launch. She called on other members of the Credit Union to make good use of the facility.

Meanwhile, GDF-CU Credit Officer, Ms. Tansy Plowell explained that the union has come a long way, since the programme commenced on March 1, 2022. She explained that the process was not without challenges, however, she is pleased that all stakeholders will be able to benefit from the initiative. She revealed that already the Credit Union has received several other applications which will be processed shortly.

Warrant Officer Class One Leyland Liverpool expressed gratitude to the union and thanked them for giving him this opportunity. Explaining that given his age, it was impossible for him to approach the commercial banks and with this loan, he is now able to achieve home security.

Lance Corporal Ahkeen Harry, who was granted a house lot since 2018, explained that he is overwhelmed with happiness, to not only be one of the first to benefit from this initiative, but more importantly, becoming a homeowner.
