Our Work in Liberia

Providing Support for Wartorn Liberia

Hospitals of Hope is rebuilding and providing medical care in war-torn Liberia.

Hospitals of Hope is committed to helping bring change in Liberia, through sending essential equipment, training hospital staff, and providing patient care.

In the past two years, we have primarily focused our work at JFK Medical Center in Monrovia, Liberia, the main government hospital in this country of 3.5 million people.  When we began work there, JFK was in need of basic equipment, but in the last year, Hospitals of Hope has donated $1.1 million of medical equipment to JFK, greatly increasing its capacity to effectively treat patients.

Now we believe that it is time for us to expand our reach in Liberia, working with smaller clinics and hospitals to ensure easier access to care.

In May 2010, we worked with 3 other organizations to send another container of medical equipment to Liberia, this one primarily aimed at equipping smaller clinics.

See the plans for the Africa Indigenous Evangelical Missions clinic, or watch video footage of the clinic sponsored by First Baptist Church in El Dorado, Kansas:

 

One group that we have worked with in the past and are considering futher partnership with is ELWA (Eternal Love Winning Africa), a well-respected and established ministry, which has been at work in Liberia since the 1950s and began as a ministry of SIM (then Sudan Interior Mission). The ELWA compound contains a radio station, a school, a church, and a small hospital.

The current ELWA Hospital was built in 1965 and is too small and out-of-date to meet the needs of the community. We are thinking and praying about the possibility of working with ELWA to build and equip a new hospital in the near future, as well as to develop a volunteer program, similar to the one in Bolivia.  Please pray for wisdom for us in this matter, as well as about ways that you can partner with us in this mission to bring hope in Liberia.
