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 nations health, educational, and water/sanitation sectors were massively destroyed. Towns and villages were burned down and thousands of villagers and urban dwellers lost 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.
