Fundraising Appeal to support Primary Healthcare Center

We are excited to support fundraising efforts towards the construction of a Primary Healthcare Center in Foya Town, Lofa County.

Construction is currently ongoing and all monies raised will be used for the project completion and for equipment.

Liberia’s Healthcare system depends heavily on international donors' support and continues to face constrains for access. It is also a major socioeconomic hurdle for women, children, and young people, who continue to bear a high cost in human lives.

According to World Bank statistics, about “95% of the country's healthcare facilities had been destroyed by the time Liberia’s civil war ended in 2003. In 2009, government expenditure on health care per capita was US$22, accounting for 10.6% of total GDP. In 2008, Liberia had only one doctor and 27 nurses per 100,000 people.”

To help minimize the many healthcare challenges faced by residents of Fornin Town and Foya District at large in accessing affordable and quality healthcare services and to address childhood mortality, women health, and a growing young population who are dying too early; the groundbreaking construction of a primary healthcare center will support more than one thousand inhabitants of Fornin Town. Also, an estimated population of over 10 thousand people in more than 20 surrounding towns and villages that face the same challenge: - access to quality and affordable healthcare services - stand to benefit from the completion of this project.

Currently, "residents disclosed to us during the ground breaking ceremony that they usually carry patients including pregnant women to major health facilities for antenatal services and treatments on motorcycles and those who can't afford riding a bike normally walk for miles, which they said is responsible for several mortalities particularly amongst pregnant women and children."

The establishment of a primary healthcare clinic in their town will not only ease their many sufferings and unfortunate deaths, but will also guarantee their health along with neighboring towns and villages.

Your financial support and contribution will help with construction cost and equipping the facility upon completion.

Your support will save lives!
