About us
UNICEF has been working in Liberia for close to 30 years. Abundant in rivers, rainforests, mangroves and swamps, Liberia is one of the wettest countries in the world. But it lacks in infrastrucutre and services to reach everyone with safe drinking water. Sanitation is very poor, with the vast majority of people in rural areas lacking decent toilets and latrines, and having to defecate in the open instead. About 42 per cent of Liberia population practices open defecation according to the Joint Monitoring Programme 2017 (JMP 2017). All in all, less than 10 per cent of Liberians have access to safely managed drinking water and sanitation services, according to the JMP 2017. Securing access to safe water and adequate sanitation for all would go a long way in reducing infection, disease and death.
