Africans Unite for Progress (AUP) is excited to announce the commencement of a transformative project aimed at providing secure and decent shelter to the most vulnerable communities across Liberia. Thanks to a generous donation of metal roofing materials from Central States Manufacturing INC., USA, AUP has embarked on an ambitious mission to repair and build roofs in every county of Liberia. This groundbreaking initiative, aptly named “One Roof at a Time, One County at a Time,” ensures that no needy family is left behind in the pursuit of safe and dignified living conditions.
Addressing a Critical Need
Liberia is known for its heavy rainfall, with an average annual rainfall of approximately 4,624 millimeters (182 inches), one of the highest in the world. For many Liberian families living in poverty, inadequate roofing means constant exposure to rain, leading to leaks, property damage, and serious health risks. The donation from Central States Manufacturing comes at a crucial time, offering a practical solution to a pervasive problem. With this donation, AUP is determined to make a lasting impact, starting from the ground up.
The Vision: One Roof at a Time, One County at a Time
The “One Roof at a Time, One County at a Time” project is a comprehensive plan to systematically address the roofing needs of every county in Liberia. By focusing on one roof at a time, AUP ensures meticulous attention to detail, quality workmanship, and maximum impact. This methodical approach guarantees that resources are efficiently utilized and that each community receives the attention and care it deserves.
A Message of Gratitude
Mr. John Magero, the Country Liberia Manager of AUP, has expressed profound gratitude to Central States Manufacturing INC. for their significant contribution. “This donation is a beacon of hope for countless families who have endured hardships due to poor housing conditions. With these new roofs, we are not just providing shelter but also restoring dignity, security, and a sense of belonging to our communities,” said Mr. Magero. “We are deeply thankful to Central States Manufacturing for their generosity and belief in our mission.”
Progress and Impact
Since the inception of the project, AUP has made remarkable strides in repairing and building roofs across various counties. The new metal roofs are providing robust protection against the elements, transforming the lives of many families who no longer have to worry about leaking roofs or the dangers of exposure to harsh weather conditions. Each new roof represents a step towards a brighter, healthier, and more secure future for Liberia’s underserved populations.
Call to Action
While the impact of the current donation is immense, the need is still great. AUP invites other donors, partners, and well-wishers to join this noble cause. Your support can help expand this project, ensuring that every vulnerable family in Liberia can live in a decent, safe, and secure home. Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient Liberia, one roof at a time, one county at a time.
