Building a Brighter Future Through Compassion and Empowerment
Enriching The Lives of Persons with Disabilities In Liberia
Liberia, a country with a rich history and resilient people, faces significant challenges in providing adequate support and resources for persons with disabilities. Liberia is Africa’s oldest republic that has a population of approximately five million people located on the west coast of Africa, founded by freed American slaves in 1847, shares borders with Sierra Leone, Guinea, the Atlantic Ocean and Ivory Coast and it is one of the most underdeveloped countries in the world. A country that emerged from conflict, but the scars and damage remain. The country lacks many of the fundamental tools and resources required to equip its youth and citizens to build a better future. Our campaign intends to change that. Hope for Community Development will continue to invest in the lives of people that need help the most, especially the most vulnerable population. According to SIDA, in Liberia, 61% of the disabled population struggle with mobility, 24% are visually impaired, 7% are deaf and 8% have an intellectual or psychosocial disability.
OUR VISION
Liberia Living and Learning Center for Persons with Disabilities (LLLCPWD) strives to enhance the lives of Persons with Disabilities, enabling them to overcome barriers, pursue their aspirations and lead fulfilling and independent lives.
