As we write this update, the world is of course gripped by the COVID-19 pandemic, with Liberia no exception. Currently the country is reporting 345 cases with 30 deaths, although it is likely that the numbers are higher because of relatively poor reporting practices.
The Fund has advanced monies to help to all those we are consistently working with, including our school in Brewerville and many other communities in and around the capital. We have also supported the Special Olympics project and those children most in need who are involved in it.
This money is targeted at supporting public health (as described in our Coronavirus 2020 update on this site), education whilst the schools are closed and of course basic food and consumables.
We are also pleased to report that Mary’s Meals are once again operating and this allows our children to be certain of receiving one meal a day as a result of being registered at the school.
The pictures below are a sample of life in Liberia, from the home study aids produced by our Head at Brewerville (David Flower) to some of the scenes of basic hygiene and food distribution.
A little goes a long way and we thank you for your support. You can of course make a one-off secure donation at any time by clicking on DONATE.
