Support Liberian Family Health Care and Education

Welcome, Friends and Supporters!

Our quarterly update gives you the latest developments with our Liberian family j Health Carre and Education Program. Since our last communications to you, the IMANI HOUSE staff continue to serve their communities, giving the best quality health services at the most economical price for our people. All the hardships faced over the last year, and continue to meet current, our staff has continued without interruption, even in the shadow of the world Corvid Pandemic.

Looking at the incidence of COVID in Liberia since our last report, our number of cases doubled, jumping from 2,128 confirmed cases to 5,727. While the number of deaths has tripled, moving from 85 deaths reported to a total of  245 deaths.  This increase is a significant spike in cases that occurred during this last quarter when you consider that there had been no considerable fluctuation in over one year. 

Compared to the West and Europe,  one would say that Liberia is doing well if you compare only the totals. However, please consider that Liberia is one of the ten poorest countries globally. The health infrastructure was destroyed during the 15-year civil war;  also, fewer than two(2) doctors per 1,000 people. One must see the country from different perspectives. Such a small clinic like IMANI HOUSE's Maternal and Children Clinic serves a crucial role in a country that is still rebuilding the health sector. Our population of patients deserves the lifesaving health care our staff provides with the most extraordinary commitment. Coup d'etat Civil War, Ebola Pandemic, Struggling economic and now Covid Crisis are significant hurdles to overcome.

So IMANI HOUSE continue to transition through the hardship as we will start our 37^th year of work and commitment in Liberia in December. It has been a long journey with so many stories to tell. We are so grateful that we have made so much progress only with your contributions and prayers. THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE for the the people of Liberia! Let continue this journey together!
