Since the 1980’s Liberia has been
through a cycle of bloody civil war. Many
of the poorer communities have been deeply
impacted with the instability of the situation
and lack of basic human necessities.
Response
Humanity First initiated a relief project
to help the internally displaced people
of Liberia with food and clothing. Clothing
was collected from the United States along
with generators and chainsaws to help
in the construction of houses for resettlement
of the displaced victims.
Outcome
•
Assisted over 3,756 people in extreme
need •
10,000 lbs of clothing shipped to Liberia •
44,000 lbs of rice distributed to the
needy •
Generators and chainsaws donated to build
new housing
Since the initial response, HF have established
an IT Training Centre and students are
now starting to get qualifications. Also,
the needs of the farmers are being addressed
in those affected communities.
