Since 1990 Plenty has provided support to Imani House International's work in Liberia, West Africa. We have contributed soy agricultural technicians, medical equipment and small grants. Imani House operates a health clinic that serves about 14,000 mothers and children and a literacy program for about 120 "market" women in the capital of Monrovia. IHI has recently expanded the literacy program to reach 8 communities outside the capital.

Internal warfare had destroyed 95% of Liberia's health facilities and now 70% of the clinics that are in operation are run by NGOs like Imani House. Thirty government doctors and 46 NGO doctors serve a population of 3.3 million.

Plenty is contributing $6,000 to renovate and expand the clinic and install a reliable generator for electricity to run lights and refrigeration. The Thomas Wartinger Memorial Fund is providing $2,000 of that amount. Our friends at the $10 Club have donated an additional $4,200 for the clinic.
