Restoring Healthcare to Women and Girls in Liberia

Each December we have a Children's Outreach to reach those most in need in Margibi County Liberia with food and used clothing shipped from the US.  We are pleased to announce that we were able to feed over 1,000 children at the Outreach this year.  

In addition our Community Health Workers are out in full force (after the COVID lockdown) providing medical care in the 36 communities we serve.  To date there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Margibi County.  Our CHWs continue to wear PPE to protect themselves and the clients they see.

We’re excited to be in our 10^th year since the founding of The Foundation for Restoring Women’s Healthcare to Liberia, Inc. as a 501(c)(3) on August 11^, 2011.  We do business as Healthy Women, Healthy Liberia (HWHL) so that name may be more familiar to you.  We are thankful for all that has transpired in these 10 years thanks to the leadership of our Medical Director Dr. Christina Hena MD and the founding members of our Board of Directors including cofounder Dr. Marcella Ruch PhD who remains on our current Board roster.  Our Waterfield Primary Healthcare Center (WPHCC) in Kakata, Margibi County Liberia was dedicated on August 12, 2016 and now in addition to examination rooms, our facility contains a lab, a pharmacy, an ultrasound, a full dental suite, an eye care center, an electrocardiogram machine and a canteen.  We’re also grateful for the work our team of 12 Community Health Workers (CHWs) who reach 36 communities surrounding  Kakata with health and hygiene education, vitamin and worm medication distribution, blood pressure checks and more.  Throughout these years of growth our vision remains constant:  To transform communities using community-based health care models for medical and dental care through education and services primarily focused on women and children.
