Support Liberian Family Health Care and Education

Dear

As the Holiday Season approaches we’d like to take this opportunity to send thanks and appreciation for your support of the Imani House Liberia Maternal and Child Health Care Clinic and Health Education Programs.

Philanthropy is an act of compassion, benevolence, and goodwill. This makes you special as part of a solution that will help our world turn right side up as each of us commits to helping someone less able.

Please Make Your Holiday Contribution to the Imani House Liberia Health and Education programs. Quality health care and literacy are Human Rights, which everyone deserves. Join us in supporting our Health and education Initiatives to build a new Liberia.

Updates:

Imani House is Partnering with Proliteracy International to create “The Liberian Women’s Health Manual” A pilot project that will bring health, nutrition and sanitation education to over 500 women, and teenage girls in four rural communities and one High School. As the Manual nears completion we will train health educators and begin the project in early 2017.

*NEW PROJECT - Installation of Latrines and Wells: The best education in sanitation for health cannot be achieved if people do not have toilets and clean water. Please donate to help us install latrines and wells in the five (5) rural/semi rural-areas that we serve. Disease and early deaths are linked to poor sanitation.  We can make a difference.

Our Mobile Health Team: TheMobile health services provide transportation of the sick to local hospitals and transient health care in areas where there are no health facilities.

Health Literacy is Empowerment: When we speak of empowerment people tend to think we have special powers to give away. But I believe that we cannot give power. What we can do is provide women, children and families access to those things that support them so that they may empower themselves and their communities.

Health Care and Literacy are Human Rights: A healthy literate mother is the best gift a child can have. Improving the Health of Liberian children and families requires a strong mother. Please join us to promote good health and 100% literacy for Liberian women.

Collaborations with Local Groups Imani House has joined hands with the Vonzon Liberian Women's Group to train and place them as Literacy tutors and health educators in their own communities. Increasing literacy rates from the current 56% among Liberian women and girls is essential if they are to succeed. Imani House runs 3 literacy sites.

THANKS so much for your support when Ebola was attacking Liberian's with no regard for life or futures.  Imani House could not have been a part of ending this plague nor the recovery efforts if not for your generosity.

So where are we now?  Imani House remains on the frontlines of development in Liberia. Our programs are managed, run and directed by professional Liberian staff who continue to provide health care, adult literacy and health education services to the wider communities of Brewerville and Monrovia.

Our Mobile Health Team is on the Move! Mobile health services are gearing up to spread to VOA where Imani House has begun a collaboration with the VOA Liberian Women's group.  A resilient group of women who are now our partners in the attempt to bring literacy and improved health to the mothers, children and families of this community.

The Imani House Maternal and Child Health Care Clinic continues to be one of the best clinics in the area, drawing marginalized patients for general treatment, prenatal, postnatal, immunization, malaria and other forms of illnesses from as far as six miles away.  Each year upwards of 10,000 patients receive treatment with most being women and children.

Health Literacy and Empowerment:  The Imani House / ProLiteracy collaboration continues.  After 34 years of interaction both in Liberia and the U.S., Proliteracy, the largest Adult Literacy organization in the U.S. has joined hands with Imani House to create a Women and Family Health Manual.  Expected to be completed in early 2017, this piloted manual will be used to provide over 500 women with techniques that will allow them to improve the health, sanitation and nutrition of their families.  This project will will grow across W. Africa and is expected to reduce infant and maternal mortality, and never again allow epidemics like Ebola to overtake the country.

Health Care and Literacy are Human Rights: Imani House knows that a literate mother is the best gift a child can have.  Improving the Health of Liberian children and families requires a literate mother.  Please join us to promote good health and 100%  literacy for Liberian women.

A Small Donation Goes a Long Way:  Won't you please consider being a partner and philanthropist in the Imani House community development efforts on the ground?  Imani House is fully vetted by Global Giving and many donor agencies.  Your dollars go only to the work in Liberia and never to support international staffing or infrastructures here in the U.S. 

If we are looking at true development, the people in developing countries must take a major role in making developent their own priority.  Imani House believes this is possible and for over 26 years we have witnessed this ideal at work.

Please visit our website to learn more or to donate  www.imanihouse.org  We welcome inquiries and visits to our support office in NYC or our programs in Liberia W. Africa.  For more information please all 718 638 2015.

       Imani House is a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit.  All donations are Tax Deductible here in the U.S.

                                                                                     THANK YOU

Wishing you well,
