Hygiene boxes - really practical help for Liberia

28 November 2004

The Evangelisch-methodistische Kirche (United Methodist Church) Weltmission (www.emkweltmission.de) in Germany have launched their 2003 Christmas appeal. Funds raised through this appeal will go to UMCOR Sierra Leone and UMCOR Liberia to put together hygiene kits for distribution amongst Liberian Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Liberian refugees currently living in camps in Sierra Leone.

Children in Liberia will really benefit from these few practical items:

A hand towel
A washcloth
Soap
A toothbrush and toothpaste
A nail file
Adhesive bandages

A real Christmas surprise for the children of Liberia!

Your donation will enable UMCOR staff in Sierra Leone und Liberia to make up hygiene kits. These vitally important hygiene boxes are filled with locally purchased products and tailored to meet the needs of the children of refugees.

Each hygiene box costs just EUR 10,00.

You can fund one or more boxes with your donation to :

A total of EUR 17,732 was collected through this appeal. With grateful thanks to the EmK Weltmission and to United Methodists across Germany. We greatly appreciate the generous support for the people of Liberia and the work of UMCOR Liberia.
