About Liberia

The Liberian civil war broke out in 1989 and has been rated one of the most deadly and devastating wars ever fought in Africa. Its wrath left the entire population suffering and thousands of children orphaned.

There is no electricity, running water, or mail service. Generators, wells and cell phones are a luxury. The people have been left with a broken and tattered country, and yet the spirit of the Liberian people is extraordinary. They have endured and survived multiple challenges.
