“For us in Gbardiah, especially we the women, poverty has made us helpless to the extent that our husbands think we are a burden. But when this project comes, where our girl children who dropped out can go back to school, and we the women are supported to expand our farms and businesses, a lot will change and we will be able to improve our lives.” One participant, Madam Marupue Garsadeh, shared:
84 communities across Rivercess County are set to benefit from the Government of Liberia’s Liberia Women Empowerment Project (LWEP), implemented by the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection alongsie ActionAid Liberia other consortium organizations, (Service Providers) delivering on Component 1B of the project.
