DONATE

This project will help break the barriers of misconceptions among local people through education. It will provide emergency food packs to those who are going hungry, including low-income families, orphanages, physically challenged, and older people's homes. One food pack costs USD 15 and keeps a family of 5 in food security for ten days.

Challenge

There are currently 686 positive cases of the Coronavirus in Liberia, with over 1000 tracing contacts, according to the National Public Health Institute. The worst-case scenario is that Liberia is among the first five most impoverished nations in the world. As a result, it is suffering from weak health infrastructure for treating common sicknesses, at least to talk about Coronavirus. The local community people have posed fear, misinformation, and disbelieve in the existence of COVID 19.

Long-Term Impact

The project will provide education and awareness-raising on Coronavirus with 1000 local populations in rural communities in Montserrado County, Liberia. The project will also enhance the knowledge of 1000 local community dwellers (children, physically challenged, youths, women, and men) on Coronavirus prevention. And, the project will provide basic Coronavirus prevention materials at community and household level to 1000 children, youth, men, women, and physically challenged.
