Yarakita is a community in the Mabaruma sub-district of Barima-Waini, Region 1. Official reporting identifies White Water as a neighbouring community and describes farming and logging among Yarakita’s livelihoods.
Moving produce and supporting households
A June 2017 DPI report recorded the provision of a tractor and trailer to help residents transport agricultural produce and timber. The report illustrates the importance of practical transport links to village livelihoods, without establishing which equipment is currently in service.
Water and community participation
In December 2021, a water-system upgrade was nearing completion with community participation. The reported works included solar-powered pumping and additional distribution pipes, supported through a UNICEF water, sanitation and hygiene programme. The project is one documented chapter in the community’s development rather than a current service guarantee.
