Big Sisters for Girls Initiatives in partnership with an American-based NGO, the Most High Industries has identified with hundreds of orphaned children by donating food and other assorted items as Liberia battles Covid-19.
Institutions benefiting from the donation are the ‘Calvary International’ Orphanage in Bardnersville and ‘Love a Child’ Orphanage in the VoA community in Montserrado County.
Making presentations of the items, the spokesperson of Big Sisters for Girls initiatives, Ruth Gbatoe said the items donated include two barrels full of canned food, water, nose masks and hand sanitizers.
She further stated that the Marshall Health Center in Margibi County also benefitted from the gesture by receiving surgical nose masks and hand sanitizers.
“As a community based organization, our interventions cannot reach every orphanage or health facility in Liberia, therefore, the state needs to reconsider its decision and embark on the provision subsidies to orphanages across the Country,” Ms. Gbatoe noted.
Meanwhile, the head of delegation of the Most High Industries, Theo Joseph Jr. described his organization’s partnership with Big Sisters for Girls Initiatives as a step to providing interventions to some social issues faced by Liberian Children.
He further stated that kids at orphanages need basic social services such as safe drinking water, improved health facilities, education and daily meal as a mean of poverty reduction, something he said his group will commit to doing.
Representatives from the respective orphanages and the health center warmly received the delegation from the charity groups and appreciated their kind gesture.
