	The GCIFR is a non-governmental organization that has been focusing on current and long-term measures to alleviate the effects of the flood and its impact on the affected population.
The GCIF has a working relationship with the Guyana government, non-governmental and international organizations as well as network with affected communities through their representatives.
	The Mattress Project of the Guyana Citizens Initiative for Flood Relief (GCIFR) began on Tuesday, February 22, 2005 after community groups, working with affected residents, identified mattresses as one of the items urgently needed.
A fact-finding mission by members of the GCIFR found that many residents were either forced to discard their mattresses soaked with polluted flooded waters or at best wash and use them again. < DONATIONS NEEDED >
