Give to... skilled healthcare workers in Liberia

Contribute to the future of healthcare in Liberia.

At SHE Collaborates, we believe in the power of education to drive sustainable change. As a project manager at SHE Collaborates, I have passionately worked on successful projects in Sierra Leone. To date, we have trained 70 healthcare professionals there, 5 of whom are now active as facilitators.

This next step to neighboring Liberia is close to my heart. The country faces similar challenges: more than 50% of the population lives below the poverty line, with approximately 1 million people in extreme poverty. The healthcare system is equally strained, with only one doctor for every 15,000 people. As a result, many communities remain vulnerable, deprived of the care they urgently need.

Our mission is to address these inequalities by investing in the education and training of healthcare professionals. What we achieved in Sierra Leone, we now aim to replicate in Liberia: a future where well-trained healthcare providers not only deliver care but also train others, sustainably strengthening the local healthcare system.

By working together to improve access to care and train healthcare professionals, we create a ripple effect. This approach enhances healthcare education and improves the quality of care for the countless individuals they will serve in the future.

The urgency of this campaign cannot be overstated. Imagine being in a situation where you desperately need help, but there’s no healthcare professional nearby. This is the daily reality in Liberia, where the lack of adequate care leads to unnecessary suffering and loss. By supporting our initiative, you contribute to a sustainable solution that empowers communities and saves lives.
