Better Hope is a village located in the Demerara-Mahaica region of Guyana. The village has been named after the Plantation Betterhoop.[2] It was originally a fishing village with many working on the sugar estates and nearby farms.[3] The majority of the population is Indo-Guyanese with a minority of Afro-Guyanese.[3]
In 2018, a road was named in honor of Moses Dwarka, a competitive marathoner born in the town.[4] Moses represented British Guiana in the 1959 Pan American Games.
