RESTORING HOPE FOR SURVIVORS LIBERIA INC
In the aftermath of the Ebola Outbreak, our volunteer interventions initiative continues. As we engage with the local Government stakeholders of Liberia and other community leaders, we remain solid towards establishing a sustainable nationwide sanitation and hygiene promotion intervention, environmental solid waste disposal initiative and establish a mechanism that will help low income or non-supported high school dropout.
We are working in close collaboration MCC and others city corporations on the pro poor Weah for clean city (WFCC) initiatives. Drawing on the theory we will develop through our volunteer initiative program a five-step model to recruit volunteers, identify beneficiaries, soliciting support and manage our volunteer programming through community participation which will provide a better health and clean community, institute waste disposal sites and participate in building the capacity of individuals who do not have the mean to continue education through donor funding.
Our recruitment
To ensure that we’re choosing or selecting the best individuals to serve in our community youth volunteers’ program, we will work with the local stakeholders, other partners and existing structures to recruit talent individual from within the remote communities we serve. Our selection strategies are purely base on volunteerism on which the project will build on to intensify it work in Liberia.
We build capacity
Community Volunteer youths’ will receive pieces of on spot training and a walk through on a series of standardized information or modules that will use to support them through their work in the field and that of the Government of Liberia. These on spot training provided to our youth volunteer workers will be a comprehensive set of skills covering
-
community sanitation and hygiene approaches, community mobilization and the logic model in community entry
-
small waste management handling and response, first aid
-
adult education and other literacy approaches, including contact tracing and counseling methods
After completing each step of these courses or on-spot training, our volunteers are given time to develop their new skills in the community before advancing to the next stage of the training.
Inspired by our mission to improve volunteerism and community participation for heathy, clean and a well build capacity of school dropout in Liberia most urban or remote communities, our vision is a volunteer worker for Liberia, with no border and at all time. Our strategy to achieve this vision is by partnering with government of Liberia and it international and local partners to establish, sustain, and manage national networks of community volunteer professionals. The following four pillars form the basis of our approach to ensuring access to clean, healthy and educated community for EVERYONE.
DESIGN
Building on our years of experience as humanitarian workers and youth volunteers with INGO’s in collaboration with the Government of Liberia, we will support the various Ministries. With the Health ministry we will help in disseminating public health messages and other community driven and healthy promotional messages and a sustainable model for integrating remote communities into the public-sector health system. And with the educational ministry, our project will help identify and link low income and non- supported high school dropout students to professional learning institutes.
Drawing on international best practices and the lessons we learned from others international partners and through our volunteer initiatives in the project implementation cities. With these lessons learned, we will work with the Liberia’s cities cooperation and the Weah for clean city initiatives (WFC) to deploy a network of professional youth volunteer and community research supervisors to identify school dropout and to bring lifesaving and public health services to the country’s urban and remote communities.
DEMONSTRATE
Under the auspices of the MOH/Public health Program, we will work with government partners to deploy hundreds of professional youth volunteers who are bringing life-saving and development to hundreds of communities across our project sites of Liberia. Through rigorous research, community mobilization and participation, monitoring and evaluation, we will demonstrate the impact that community youth volunteer can have in extending public health services and community development initiatives and working to improve low income or school dropout in urban and remote communities.
ROLE OUT
We will provide technical assistance to the Government of Liberia by closing the gap and reducing the mindset of work for pay within the growing population, towards serving the communities in bringing the Public health and community development initiatives nationwide through volunteerism, aiming to ensure that thousands of Liberians who need proper sanitation and hygiene, small waste management and continue learning for low income school youth and non- supported school dropout in urban and remote communities by 2030
PARTNERSHIP
