WHAT YOU HAVE HELPED US TO ACHIEVE IN THE PAST TEN YEARS.

There is widespread poverty in the villages of Africa. Most people earn a living by subsistence farming and cannot afford to pay school fees for their children. Our schools are free or heavily subsidised. By providing clean water, medical and pastoral care Liberty lifts communities out of ignorance, disease and low expectation.

2 NEW PURPOSE BUILT SCHOOLS

The first school started is in Imini starting with very basic rented rooms. We now have brand new buildings on 9 acres of land, a borehole, flush toilets, a pineapple plantation and , our largest project is a new “state of the art teacher accommodation. Twenty-six, 6th year pupils graduated last July. Our second school is in Sepeteri, Oyo State. Again it is purpose built with it’s own well. Our dedicated teaching staff ensure that already the school is oversubscribed. Each school has 2 wings with 8 classrooms, a Library, office, a toilet block and a well.

We help with 2 other schools paying salaries for teachers at Araromi-Idowu and giving money towards new schools in Ondo State.  We run adult literacy classes in several villages and have awarded 20 scholarships to university students.
NEW ACCOMODATION FOR OUR TEACHERS

The picture shows Mrs. Morin Nylander, School Governor and Mrs. Grace Enomate Liberty Secretary inspecting the prestigious new 13 room teacher’s block.  Until now our teachers have lived in typical village conditions with no running water, electricity and little sanitation.  As we complete this structure each teacher will have their own bedroom, some en suite.   There is a common room, 2 kitchens, a library and IT facilities.  A generator will ensure continuous electricity, most of the staff is studying for their MA’s and are very dedicated to their work.  We have 22 salaried teachers.
 
CLEAN WATER

Clean drinking water saves lives reducing the incidence of disease like typhoid, dysentery, cholera, diarrhea and vomiting.  Over the last with your help we have been able to sink 16 wells, borehole and repair 2 water for the entire village.   We are still receiving requests and have identified a need for 16 more wells.

YOU CAN HELP!
Each well costs £300 and a borehole is £3,000.

LIVES SAVED omit and
So far we have provided free medical support for some 100,000 needy people including over 100 cataract surgeries and minor ops.  Our expert team of 300 volunteers consists of consultant, ophalmologists, surgeons, pharmacists, dentists, nurses and physios.
Our WELL WOMAN CLINIS in Ibadan is headed by Prof Ronke Baiyeroju where through breast examinations, CV smears, BP checks and blood tests many lives have been saved.
MOBILE OPERATING THEATRE AND OPTHALMIC MICROSCOPE
Our latest faith project is to obtain these costly facilities.  We have the surgeons but not the equipment.
The joy of enabling the blind to see cannot be quantified.  The cost is for a new mobile theatre, estimated at £100,000, but we believe it will be done.
PASTORAL CARE

Each year we have a major outreach to the villages offering minor surgery, cataract operations, counseling, food and clothing.  Our team numbers over 300 professionals giving their expertise.  When the team leaves the teachers and pastors take over, living among the people, always at hand to help. Liberty has helped to build up to 60 village churches and provided 2 buses and 13 motorcycles for our workers.  We have the joy of seeing many lives radically changed.  Our desire is to do more.  There are thousands of African villages needing our help.
