Charles Luke Agricultural Project

3/27/2017

1 Comment

 
Liberia’s Todee district has rich, fertile soil.  The Charles Luke community wanted to be able to support itself by undertaking various agricultural projects as they had the acreage for such an initiative. 
 
They turned to various sources for financial assistance in obtaining the tools and seeds they needed to get started, but without success.  Julius Luke ultimately contacted the Board of Dignity:Liberia.  We liked the proposal he presented and were very excited when, in 2016, one of our donors provided funds for the entire project.
 
The Charles Luke Community wasted no time in clearing the land with machetes, power tools, and fire.  They have watered by hand and with the aid of a pump. 
 
Julius wrote:
 
"Directly empowering locals to manage their own resources is the easiest way to develop any rural community.  People here are excited and amazed that Dignity:Liberia heard our cries and decided to directly empower us. This farm will serve as a major supplier of vegetables to Monrovia, Paynesville, and Kakata cities and also generate thousands of dollars yearly for 18 villages that forms part of a cooperative.  School fees, medication, and food will no longer be a major problem, as many villagers will now be earning money from the farm."
 
He told us: “You have directly impacted lives.”  Dignity:Liberia could not have helped the Charles Luke Community without the support that all our donors provide.  Thank you.
 
Julius shared a number of pictures of the agricultural project at its various stages that we are now sharing with you.

It is quite an interesting thing that Dignity Liberia is doing all this in my community; but apart from the Agriculture Project which is known to be the sole initiative and property of Julius, I do not see where there is a school for which it is posted on facebook as follow: "Dignity: Liberia started by providing free clinical services to our community, later provided funds for the construction of our community school, intervene massively during the Ebola era. Today they are directly participating into nation building.."
