Liberia
Since the early 1980s, Liberia has been marked by political upheaval, including coups, assassinations and two civil wars. Its political instability has resulted in chronic displacement of people and the destruction of basic health care and social service infrastructure. Today, 80% of the population lives below the poverty line. Malaria is the leading cause of death among children under 5 years old.
Episcopal Relief & Development is partnering with the Diocese of Liberia to implement the NetsforLife® malaria prevention partnership.
Promoting Health and Fighting Disease
-
Liberia is one of 15 countries in sub-Saharan Africa where the NetsforLife® program partnership is working to prevent malaria by distributing long-lasting, insecticide-treated nets and educating communities in prevention and treatment methods.
