In Region 3, the rehabilitation of the Leonora and Parika markets has transformed conditions for over 800 vendors, creating safer, cleaner, and more functional commercial spaces. Once plagued by poor infrastructure, the markets now feature upgraded stalls, better sanitation, proper lighting, and improved layouts that attract more customers. These improvements not only enhance vendor livelihoods and shopper experiences but also reflect a broader commitment to strengthening small businesses, boosting community pride, and supporting the region’s economic resilience through modernized marketplaces.
