Support Liberian Family Health Care and Education

Host Organization: IMANI HOUSE, Incmdi-circle-small Brooklyn, NY, United States mdi-circle-small http://www.imanihouse.org

About

Many rural areas in Liberia lack healthcare, health ed., or literacy services. Without this Liberians don't know how to use preventative methods that decrease infant and maternal mortality and improve the quality of life. Each year IHI's Clinic serves over 15,000 people, and our literacy programs work with 200 women and our new "Liberian Women's Health Manual" will be used by local women to teach women and girls improved health, sanitation, nutrition and human rights practices. Please contribute

Need

Many years post-conflict, most Liberians still live in poverty and lack access to quality, affordable healthcare, education or Literacy. Patients often walk long distances for care and risk being turned away due to a lack of medical supplies. Malnutrition, Malaria, Diabetes, and other are rampant, and Liberia's maternal and infant mortality are among the highest in the world - nearly 15% of children die by their first birthday. Government Health Centers often run without staff or medicine.

Long term impact

IHI not only provides care, resources, and education to promote the health and wellbeing of its community, it also serves as a model for locally driven grassroots development. We know that when provided with opportunities for health and literacy, people can and do take ownership of the improvement of their lives and communities. Your donation will help us ensure that area residents continue to receive quality, affordable healthcare and education and our staff will continue to earn a living wage.

About the Organization

IMANI HOUSE's mission is to assist low-income youth, families, and immigrants to create viable neighborhoods where residents are decision makers who take responsibility for the improvement of their lives and surroundings. This is achieved through programs that provide Youth and Family Support Services Including Health Care, Health Education, Adult Literacy, and Information and Referral Services. Founded in Liberia W. Africa Imani House believes that anyone can achieve success and a higher quality of life if only they have access to appropriate information, skills and opportunities. Our programs in Liberia and Brooklyn use a bottom-up approach where grassroots people are recruited as trainers and employees and run our programs within their own communities.
