US Delegation Arrives in Liberia to Enhance Humanitarian Support
A nine-member delegation from the United States, representing the organizations Serve Africa and Go Serve Global, has arrived in Liberia to provide humanitarian support to vulnerable populations in Montserrado and Nimba counties. The delegation, led by Stephen Wonbenyakeh, President of Serve Africa and a native of Nimba County, paid a courtesy visit to House Speaker Fonati Koffa on Wednesday to discuss their mission and share their vision for Liberia.
Wonbenyakeh emphasized that the organizations are committed to improving the lives of orphans and children in distress across Montserrado and Nimba. “We are here to cater to the well-being of orphans and children who are facing desperate situations,” he said. “Our goal is to extend our support through infrastructure development, particularly by constructing homes in Nimba District #3 that will serve as birth centers for women.”
The delegation also highlighted the importance of expanding existing initiatives run by Serve Africa, with plans to broaden its scope to reach more communities in need. Terry Baxter, co-founder of Go Serve Global, underscored the partnership between his organization and Serve Africa, stating that they will work together to build homes, hospitals, and other essential facilities in Liberia.
House Speaker Fonati Koffa expressed his gratitude to the delegation for their ongoing efforts in Montserrado and Nimba counties, praising their work as “commendable” and “truly making a difference in the lives of many Liberians.” He also acknowledged the collaboration between the U.S. delegation and Nimba County District #3 Representative Nehker E. Gaye, which has helped create new opportunities for the country.
The courtesy visit was also attended by Montserrado County District #7 Representative Emmanuel Dahn and Bong County District #6 Representative Moima Briggs Mensah, who both acknowledged the importance of the delegation’s work and pledged their continued support.
