Challenge

The problem in Liberia lies in the widespread lack of adequate housing among the urban and rural populations, exacerbated by the legacy of conflict and economic challenges. According to multinational entities such as the World Bank, approximately 95% of Liberians lack access to formal housing, with a significant portion residing in slums or informal settlements. The strain on housing infrastructure leads to overcrowding and unsanitary living conditions while reinforcing the cycles of poverty.

Solution

This project will provide sustainable and affordable housing solutions for impoverished families in Liberia by utilizing locally sourced materials and community-driven construction efforts. By empowering communities through training and employment opportunities, we aim to address the root causes of housing insecurity and poverty. Through our approach, we will not only improve living conditions for families but also foster economic resilience and self-sufficiency within these communities.

Long-Term Impact

The project's long-term impact encompasses breaking the cycle of poverty by providing sustainable housing solutions for impoverished families in Liberia. Through community-driven efforts, it cultivates a sense of ownership and cohesion among residents, fostering resilience. Economic empowerment via training and employment opportunities has the potential to spur broader economic development while environmentally sustainable practices contribute to a resilient and equitable society.
