2023 Annual Report
With each passing year of the ministry of Healthy Women, Healthy Liberia, we are overjoyed to see the many ways God has been at work through our staff, volunteers, and you, our donors, to improve the lives of our Liberian friends. From the beginning, our vision remained constant: To transform communities using community- based healthcare models for medical, vision, and dental care through education and services primarily focused on women and children. In 2024, we look forward to moving beyond these foundational goals with expanded maternity and surgical services improving the quality of lives in Liberia.
