51 for 5,000,000

Dear Friends of Hope,

According to the World Health Organization there are 51 doctors for Liberia’s population of over 5,000,000(less than 0.1 per 1,000 people). 

In the beginning years of Hope International, a medical clinic was added to serve the students, staff and surrounding community members.  

Sonnie, our school nurse, treats everything from colds to malaria. On average she has 175 visits a month to the small clinic. Her monthly salary is provided by a Hope Project partner who is herself a nurse.

This medical clinic provides medical care to those that would otherwise have no access to these services. 

Currently, we have 6 Hope International graduates working towards their nursing degrees at United Methodist University in Liberia, something that didn’t seem possible 15 years ago.
