In an effort to support communities in their EVD crisis recovery process and encourage women groups and student s assemblies to use the evening hours for their activities, IMC Liberia MHPSS team distributed Waka-Waka solar lights that were provided by EnDev Liberia.

The benefitting communities in Bong County had been directly affected by the 2014 Ebola outbreak, and were selected on the basis of their needs, considering the impact the outbreak had on them relative to other communities that were not as affected by the epidemic.

The teams also identified groups with specific needs to utilize the  improved light especially during evening hours activities. These included, Student groups organized to study together; Women’s groups established to meet regularly and discuss development issues and other matters concerning their communities and its members etc.

Meanwhile, benefactors expressed their gratitude on receiving the donation and emphasized that they now have sufficient time to sell their local goods and have meetings in the evening time contrary to what was happening before the lights were provided.
