A farmer in a wheelchair from Monrovia, Liberia called Ned Stoller, who is an assistive technology professional for AgrAbility in the US, for assistance. We would like to have an American missionary connect with him and scope out the situation for us. Is there anyone from ECHO West Africa that would be willing to partner with us? If there is no one in that area from ECHO, is there a missions organization that you guys would recommend? We already checked with Africa Inland Missions and they do not have anyone on the ground in Liberia.
Blessings,
Ana Zuidema
@Hassan_DJEBRO at ECHO West Africa may help connect you and/or explain ECHO West Africa services.
@Candice_Scatliff Do you or Tom have any ideas to share on this topic?

Ana, I have no idea exactly what you are looking for but we are active in Liberia, mostly in Bomi and Nimba and Bong counties. We are definitely agricultural, but we are not religious at all. A totally secular organization. We work with tilapia farming, rice, vegetables, to mention just a few of the things we do. Stacey is a really good person so she may well have good connections for you. If you’re interested in connecting with us, let me know, and I’ll put you in touch with someone on the ground in Liberia.
Thank you for your willingness to help! May I ask, what is the name of your organization? Thank you!
Thank you, Stacy, for those connections!

The name of our organization is Jenneh Farms. However, the names that you would probably find in Liberia are Walcentai or Agriculture and You, which is a separate organization but we partner with them a lot.

Hey Ana,
I’m an American doing agricultural work with an NGO and I’m in Monrovia every weekend and a bit of Monday. I’m here till mid to late October. If you’d like me to check anything out, shoot me an email at julesholdahl@gmail.com. Blessings,
