Liberia, one of the poorest nations in the world, is encountering profound economic challenges. The majority of its citizens live below the poverty line, struggling with hunger and malnutrition daily. The average family survives on less than a dollar each day, making everyday life an enormous challenge.
“The king will say to those on his right, come you who are blessed by my father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was HUNGRY and you gave me food to eat …let’s feed the hungry”
Matthew 25: 34-35
The Nyonblee Cares Foundation’s Food and Nutrition Program focuses on providing food to the most vulnerable members of our community, especially the elderly. Our food distributions primarily consist of rice, the staple food in Liberia, and reach hundreds of needy families. These distributions are done in bulk, providing sustenance for extended periods between each distribution. For many families, our food distributions are a lifeline. They eagerly anticipate these events, knowing they will receive a nutritious meal, often including rare luxuries like meat, chicken, or fish. Our program offers more than just food; it provides hope and dignity to those in need. A poignant testament to our impact came from an elderly man who shared his gratitude after our COVID-19 food distribution.
“Praise God! I am here to praise the Lord for providing me with rice yesterday through the Nyonblee Cares Foundation when I had just eaten my last farina (a cereal made from cassava) and had no other hope of where my next meal would come from.”
This testimony and numerous others is why we do what we do.So many lives depend on what we do and it is through the support of our faithful donors like you that the foundation gets to distribute food to feed the hungry.
There is more fruit in rich man’s shampoo than in a poor man’s plate.
