Welcome to the Liberia Environmental Watch (LEW). The Liberia Environmental Watch (LEW) is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization devoted to advocating for Liberia's environmental soundness through civic educational awareness campaigns and civic plan of action for the protection and restoration of the nation's water bodies and tributaries, air, forests, land, wildlife, environmental justice of equal reciprocity and to preserve and conserve natural resources now on the brink of extinction while ensuring of concept of national sustainability.
Liberia's environmental conditions are so deplorable to the absolute detriment of human health, which has been exacerbated as a result of the 14 years war. Unbearable poor sanitary conditions have ruined the safety of basic human commodities such as water and the priceless air we breathe in that have contributed immensely to deaths and have eroded the live expectancy rate between 48-50 years. Mortality rate among pregnant women for live babies have soared. For every 1000-life birth, between 235 to 300 babies died in the process not including miscarriages. This number could swell factoring in rural habitants who have no access to road and healthcare. The political war for power struggle appears to be over, but environmental war is raging silently and the casualties' numbers are growing exponentially - we must act NOW.
Together, we can change things around for the better giving our people hope to life in an environmental that is conducive for the fulfillments of life. This is why LEW has chosen to champion the cause for Liberia's environmental sanity. Please join us in this undertaking. |
