Charity is a small township in Guyana, located in the Pomeroon-Supenaam Region No.2, which is part of the Essequibo County. Essequibo is claimed by Venezuela as part of Delta Amacuro state, which is located in the Guayana Esequiba. The claim is being contested in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) where Venezuela refuses to participate[2].
Location
Charity is located on the Pomeroon River which provides a gateway to this part of Guyana's interior and Venezuela. Many Guyanese use this waterway to travel back and forth between Guyana and Venezuela where they work. It is a central focus for the farmers who live in this area. They bring their products to this location and from here it is transshipped to other townships such as Anna Regina and Parika, and to the capital city of Georgetown.
