TEACH Liberia Gives Soul Clinic Community Face Lift

MONROVIA, Feb.17 (LINA) – The Technology Education Agriculture Community Initiatives and Health (TEACH), a non-profit and non-governmental organization has embarked on a vigorous clean-up campaign in the Soul Clinic Community in Paynesville outside Monrovia.

Speaking in an interview with the Liberia News Agency (LINA) during the clean-up exercise recently, the Executive Director of TEACH, Patrick Barlea, said the initiative is the organization’s way of giving back to the society and people of the community.

According to Barlea, the exercise is also intended to enhance government’s Pro-Poor Agenda, adding: “We cannot sit and wait on government only to do everything and also clean our environment.

Barlea disclosed that the aim of his organization is to make Liberia one of the potential and unique countries in the world relative to education, agriculture, community initiatives and health, indicating that “When the community is clean the dwellers of the area become healthy.”

He explained that TEACH Liberia intends to assist communities in the country through every means possible and to as well endeavor to eliminate unnecessary conditions or situations that threaten human health and survival.

“We want to make community dwellers safe from mosquito bites by cutting the grass and collecting garbage because when the area is occupied with dirt and grasses it creates space for mosquitoes,” Barlea emphasized.

This, he said, can be achieved by carrying on awareness campaigns in the various communities, construction of latrines and hand pumps and organizing workshops on hygiene and healthy practices in Liberia.

“We have been creating awareness on the present Coronavirus, encouraging people to wash their hands constantly with chlorine and soap. We are going from one house to another, making sure that people get the basic information about this deadly disease which is instilling fear in the people around the world,” he said.

Barlea, however, called on national and international philanthropists and organizations to assist the organization with financial and material support so that it can expand its operations to other counties.
