Liberia, Africa’s oldest Republic, has faced significant economic and health issues in the post-civil war era. A broken national infrastructure has left major systems functioning at a dismal level resulting in a significant percentage of the population living in extreme poverty. The health and education systems have suffered and are ill-equipped to support the needs of the citizenry. Most rural and sub-urban areas lack health facilities and hospitals leaving citizens without basic health resources for preventive and ongoing care. The lack of potable water remains a major issue and poses dire health risks such as a strong prevalence of water-borne diseases. The lack of sewage services and clean drinking water results in a seasonal outbreak of cholera. A broken education system has left a generation of Liberia’s children at a disadvantage without the proper learning tools and resources to gain the knowledge needed to improve their lives.
