Ebola Virus Disease Survivors Medical Research At Crucial Point

Monrovia - The Liberia-US Joint Clinical Research Partnership otherwise known as the Partnership for Research on the Ebola Virus Disease in Liberia (PREVAIL) which was launched in June 2015 in the country has yielded tremendous results as efforts continuous to speedily address gaps that could delay the Research.

It was against this backdrop PREVAIL’s Lead Community Engagement pilot led by the Executive Director of the Liberia Crusaders for Peace (LCP) Amb. Juli Endee and the Social Mobilization arm led by Mr. Bartholomew Wilson have jointly embarked on community engagement meeting/awareness with community, religious, traditional, youth leaders as well as Ebola Survivors across the country.

The struggle for Water Is Sickening!

By Beny Sam
Thursday April 14, 2016

With all the efforts made by our ministry of water resources, the bulk of our compatriots are still thirsting for water. In Africa, many communities go without electricity for ages, but they cannot afford to go without water. If the United Nations perhaps knew March month is the driest month in most West African countries, may be they would have shifted the World Water commemoration from a day in March.  Why I see the date disturbing is that when our Ministry each year mobilizes resources to mark the World Water Day, I see it as a biting irony since that is the time Sierra Leoneans forage all over the place to have a drop of water to utilize for various purposes.
