Liberia is preparing for rainy season

"If you asked me if I would rather have a million dollars or have more help, I would tell you we need more help. However, we have no where for that help to live." Darryl Elliot, Deputy Country Director ELWA February 2024.

​Are you finally experiencing some warm days where you are?
As we are heading out of Spring and moving into Summer, Liberia is preparing for rainy season. 

According to the web site Climates to Travel, rainfall along the coast of Liberia “is very abundant and exceeds 3,000 mm or 118 inches per year.” That's almost 10 feet of rain per year.  However, “the real monsoon arrives in May and lasts until October.”

Imagine the damage all that rain will do to a house. Add to that the salt air that blows in from the ocean mixing with the rain. The houses in Liberia have windows that are  permanently open because the average temperature is 90 degrees outside, and there is no air conditioning in most of the homes. You can see from the photos that eves are extra wide so rain doesn't blow into the house, but the moisture still pours in.   

​During our February visit we saw first-hand the amount of work that is needed on these homes.
 
Would you prayerfully consider helping us with the cost of the repairs to these homes?  As Darryl mentioned, more help is needed, and some missionaries are already on their way. We need to get the ELWA staff into repaired homes of their own.
