Poverty is multiple conditions, and requires multidimensional approaches to solve its complications on human well-being.
Sehzoor (Dialect called Gio word meaning love for country) Life Organization (SLO) is a community-based organization that endeavors to address observable social, health, economic and environmental issues by finding a sustainable solution. Our mission is to shoulder the costs in the pursuit of the eradication of societal ills including diseases complicated with poverty and hunger that have a negative impact on individual lives and our community as a whole. Our promise is to prepare current generations to stand against human-made problems, the affects of climate change, disease, hunger and poverty for the benefit of generations to come.
We fight Poverty Holistically - It's man's # enemy.
As of now, most of the global poor live in sub-Saharan Africa. The average poverty rate for sub-Saharan Africa stands at about 41 percent, and of the world’s 28 poorest countries, 27 are in sub-Saharan Africa all with a poverty rate above 30% Just as poverty is multidimensional conditions, our programs are multidimensional in nature focusing on vulnerable children, women, people with chronic conditions by giving them the tools they need to change their lives. Extreme Poverty makes self-health care impossible altogether. Healthcare affordability is impossible with extreme poverty – a reason preventable, curable and manageable diseases continue an increase and kill more people in Sub-Saharan Africa. Being poor means, you lack many things, including education, access to basic social services, healthcare, food and and security.
WE support Teenage Motherhood because it's mostly defined by extreme poverty .
Poverty makes children born unto teenage mothers likely to be street children, criminals and post threat to social peace. Teenage pregnancy itself is largely attributed to extreme poverty. Teenage pregnancy is a serious problem in Liberia. It brings about delay in school, raises many medical problems, and unnecessary financial burden. 3 in 10 Liberian girls are pregnant before the age 18. Many young girls in Liberia are exposed to sex by age 9. We've developed an inclusive incomes generating programs for community residents to raise incomes. Details here.
