Sanitation

Extending access to clean and safe drinking water

Statistics show that only 25% of Liberians have access to safe drinking water which makes them susceptible to water borne diseases. Eighty percent have no access to decent toilet and more than 3 million lack access to adequate sanitation. As an individual, Honorable Boakai has often intervened to facilitate the construction of bore holes and hand pumps in many rural communities. The Joseph Nyuma Boakai Foundation will continue to work with Implementing Partners to extend access to clean and safe drinking water to rural communities, extend the WASH programs around the country, and help to improve sanitation for the Liberian people.

The Foundation will therefore:
Facilitate the construction of bore holes and hand pumps in urban and rural communities; Work with Implementing Partners to extend access to clean and safe drinking water in communities in which they operate; and Work with other agencies, including the Government, to extend the WASH programs around the country in order to help improve sanitation for the Liberian people.
