HGHF is a local, Christian , Humanitarian
Foundation in Liberia. It exists as a non-denominational, not for profit
Organization that portrays a lifestyle of evangelism while striving to meet
the need of the poor Liberian. HGHF takes a holistic approach to development
which emphasis is on meeting both physical and spiritual needs.
At the top of
everything we do, we maintain our faith
in Jesus, integrity, stewardship, respect for all,
transparency,
accountability and commitment to serving the poor.
The unique features of Havious Green Humanitarian Foundation Inc.
HGHFI was founded on September
16, 1997 as a Faith-based Ministry and named in honor of Pastor
Havious Green of Mich, USA for his humanitarian assistance to the
suffering Liberians during our civil crisis.
The Havious Green Humanitarian Foundation INC.; is a locally
registered non-profit, non-governmental Christian Development
Organization based in the city of Monrovia. HGHFI believes that
approaches to development must be of the people. The mission of the
organization is to empower communities to undertake their own
development initiative to enable the people reach their full
potential as human beings created in the image of God.
The civil war in Liberia imposed severe suffering on the estimated 3.5 million
inhabitants of the country. Lives and socio-economic services and the nationshealth, educational, and water/sanitation sectors were massively destroyed.
Towns and villages were burned down and thousands of villagers and urban
dwellerslost their lives from hunger and diseases. Farming, the major source of income
and means of survival for rural dwellers, were abandoned due to insecurity. Farm
implements and planning materials including seeds for village farmers were
either destroyed or looted by armed fighters.
The civil war and current economic status of the country are the main causes of
poverty in Liberia. The prolonged civil war has displaced more than one hundred
and fifty thousand persons in Liberia. Over 90% of the population of Liberia
lived displaced. Most of them are languishing in IDP Camps in the country.
Others have fled into the forests and other parts of Liberia. About 95% of the
country is without safe drinking water and electricity. Another cause of poverty
in Liberia is the deplorable economic situation in the country.
Most families in
and out of the IDP Camps depend on relief assistance for their survival. There
are very few industries operating in the country. A third cause of poverty is
the inability of the government to adequately distribute available resources to
its citizens. The vast majority of the working population is out of employment.
Most farmers do not have the tools or capital to restart farming activities.
Most farm activities cannot sustain the farmers families.
Against this
background Havious Green Humanitarian Foundation was founded to assist our
unfortunate brothers and sisters who suffered as a result of the war.
Havious Green Humanitarian
Foundation Is Accredited by the Government of Liberia as an NGO. We operate one
health center, a vocational training institute for women and an academic junior
high school. The HGHFI believes that the Church and other NGOs, PVOs must be committed to
fight against AIDS. Research has shown that 80% to 90% of the HIV/AIDS
positives are infected through intercourse. It is therefore necessary that
HIV/AIDS awareness programs be conducted. We therefore through our health
services department offer HIV/AIDS education to our communities.
The Foundation has
some specific tasks oriented areas:
o Spiritual Activities
o The Health Services Program
o The Academic Program
o The HIV/AIDS Program
o Relief Supplies Distribution Program
