  • Preventing the Spread of EVD in Liberia Through Community Engagement and Surveillance
    QUARTERLY REPORT Project Name: Preventing the spread of EVD in Liberia through Community Engagement and Surveillance Country: Liberia Agreement Number: AID-OFDA-G-15-00016 Reporting Period: December 2014 - March 2015 Contact Person: HQ: Sue Gloor, Program Officer Field: CARE Liberia Office OVERVIEW Provide a general overview of the projects activities and some of the highlights of implementation. This should not be more than 2 paragraphs. (200 words maximum) In 2014, West Africa recorded the highest number of Ebola cases since its inception in the 1970s. In October 2014 the increasing number of Ebola cases and deaths was a growing concern in Liberia, one of the three countries hard-hit by the 2014 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak. Humanitarian organizations supported government initiatives through the establishment of Ebola Treatment Units (ETUs) and Community Care Centers (CCCs) by providing human resources, particularly healthcare workers and technical support in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) as well as supporting with construction and management of these facilities. However, an increasingly important component of the overall Ebola response is social mobilization through community engagement with emphasis on behavior change with the aim to cut transmission rates. CARE engaged communities through local networks and leadership structures to influence the will of the people to participate in the Ebola response process. CARE coordinated with county and district health teams and trained 600 (male: 443 and female: 157) local leaders to create buy- in and support to the development and implementation of the Ebola response plan in coordination with the Ministry of Health & Social Welfare (MOHSW) and other humanitarian agencies.

  • Liberia Education Update May 2019
    Liberia Education Update May 2019 Lofa Road on the way to Voinjama City, April 29, 2019. The rains have only just begun. Lofa River District I ended April and began May in the Lofa River District. District Superintendent, Rev. Cecelia Marpleh, and I traveled together in her pick-up truck from Gbarnga in Bong County to visit the Jemima Camp Freeman United Methodist School (UMS) in Voinjama City, Lofa County. I visited Voinjama several times since 2009 as we worked to renovate and reopen the school that was damaged and looted during the war. The school now has 115 students in nursery class through seventh grade. Water for Life built a latrine for the school with a gift from St. Paul’s UMC in Rochester, Michigan. There are 5 students in the 7th grade class and only one of them had a copy of the literature book, Why No One Knows When He Will Die. The need for required textbooks continues in schools throughout Liberia. While in Lofa, we also visited the recently established Foya United Methodist Church (UMC). The congregation speaks the Kisi language, but there was only a copy of the English King James Bible in the church. I was so happy to find a Kisi Bible at the Bible Society book store in Monrovia. I would like everyone to hear and receive the Word in the language they understand best. Back in Foya United Methodist Church, Lofa County Monrovia, I also found a copy of the literature book for April 30, 2019 each student in the 7th grade class.
