Cities Alliance: Monrovia City Programme
Comic Relief awarded a grant of GBP 3,990,345 to Cities Alliance for work in Liberia, dated 27 January 2016.
Overview
Almost a quarter of the people in Liberia live in the slums of Monrovia, with very poor housing, poor water supply, and very little sanitation. The 2014 Ebola outbreak destroyed many lives and many people lost their jobs and sources of income.This project aims to help slum dwellers organise themselves. They will be assisted to document their living conditions, and the findings will help influence wider government policy on slums. These groups will be assisted to start savings schemes, and these will be used to help them start small businesses The project will also set up a Community Fund which will enable slum dwellers to make improvements in their houses and their living conditions.
