The
political war for power
struggle is over, but there is
a silent war of human carnage
from sanitary filth and poor
hygienic condition that is
pervasive in Liberia. It must
claim the attention of all
Liberians to help. After all,
what could be humanly
essential than a healthy
environment where every
human’s participation can be
optimized for the good of
themselves and society? The
Liberia Environmental Watch,
Inc. launches this national
appeal for help as it
champions this cause for
tackling the problems. Please
read more and help……
Liberia’s
current environment tells a
sad story of what amounts to
be a death trap. The images
are scary and thought
provoking by any standard.
Frustratingly, not much has
been done about it to change
the situation for the better.
What could be more radically
essential to a nation or an
individual for that matter
than a healthy environment
where God’s given potential
can be optimized for the
benefit of society? Anything
falls short of good health
renders one perhaps limited
and in some cases unproductive
to themselves and society.
Yes, the
14-year war had done much
damage to Liberia and is
blamed for much of the
environmental problems. The
national government’s
ability to deliver domestic
services, such as an effective
garbage collection system,
safe drinking water, and
latrines, has been crippled
because of limited resources.
We, (Liberians) in the
Diaspora can render some help
in the environmental areas to
change worsened public health
dilemmas.
It is
evident that most Liberian
organizations and individuals
in the Diaspora have been
helpful in many areas of
social issues to communities
in Liberia but not much in the
environmental area.
If every
Liberia organization in the
Diaspora adopts a community in
Liberia on environmental
educational awareness and
clean-up services as it
relates to public conditions,
through existing NGO like the
Liberia Environmental Watch (LEW)
Inc., it would serve as a
paradigm to achieving
environmental protection and
sustainable management to
which good health and
longevity can be assured.
There
are communities in Liberia,
particularly in Monrovia, that
are environmentally filthy,
crying for urgent help. Few of
the many names that come to
mind are: New Kru Town, Clara
Town, Logan Town, Via Town,
Sayon Town, Blamo Town, Congo
Town, Buzzy Quarter, West
Point, Point Four, Bong Mine
Bridge, Mandingo Quarter, Slip
Way, PHP, Bye Pass, Jamaica
Road, Shoe Factory, Cow
Factory, Fiama, Battery
Factory,
Mamba Point and etc.
LEW is
championing the cause in
tackling the environmental
problems in communities
through its initiated
environmental educational
awareness pilot project dabbed
Train the Trainer to Train which
commenced in New Kru Town, and
will later be duplicated in
other communities. Support a
community and LEW will
collaborate and provide the
expertise to educate and
clean.
