Liberia

Africare began assisting Liberia's war victims in 1992. Internally displaced farm families received emergency food and medical aid, followed by agricultural support so they could feed themselves once again. Similar emergency aid and agricultural support went to Liberian refugees across the border in Cote d'Ivoire. More recently, with the end of the war, Africare has undertaken resettlement assistance as well as rebuilding essential infrastructure — especially medical facilities — that had been destroyed during the war.

Current Africare assistance to Liberia:

  • Resettlement of internally displaced persons and returning refugees
  • Emergency medical aid
  • Rehabilitation of health services infrastructure
  • HIV/AIDS response
  • Food security
  • Water resource development
  • Water sanitation
