The National Commission on Disability joins the wider community in mourning the passing of former Chairperson, Mrs. Evelyn Hamilton AA.

Mrs. Hamilton served with dedication, compassion, and a deep commitment to advancing the rights, dignity, and inclusion of persons with disabilities in Guyana. Her contribution to the Commission and to the disability community reflected a life of service and advocacy.

As a former Chairperson of the National Commission on Disability, Mrs. Hamilton played an important role in supporting the Commission’s work and strengthening its mission to promote and protect the rights of persons with disabilities. Her leadership, guidance, and concern for the welfare of others left a meaningful impact on those who worked with her and those who benefited from her service.

The NCD Team remembers Mrs. Hamilton as a woman of strength, kindness, wisdom, and purpose. Her legacy will continue to inspire the Commission’s ongoing efforts to build a more inclusive society where persons with disabilities are respected, supported, and given equal opportunities to participate fully in national life.

At this time of sorrow, the National Commission on Disability extends heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Hamilton’s family, friends, colleagues, and all those whose lives she touched.

We honour her memory, celebrate her service, and remain grateful for her contribution to disability advocacy and national development.

May her soul rest in peace.
