Enriching The Lives of The Visually Impaired People In Liberia
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.

Join us September 2nd, 2023 for our first Fundraising Dinner Event for the official launch of the Liberian Living and Learning Facility project for the visually impaired people in Liberia, one of the world's developing countries that fought 14 years of civil war and it's still struggling economically.

Despite the limited financial resources, Hope for Community Development is proud to have now assisted over 6,000 visually impaired youths and families with basic needs. We believe the last thing a visually impaired person should be worried about is food and shelter.
