The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), World Food Program USA and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held a notable gathering with Liberian government leaders in Monrovia on Monday.
In 2022, the Church of Jesus Christ provided funds to help the World Food Program USA boost WFP’s multiyear effort to assist Liberians. The Church’s donation is helping 750 farmers in 25 towns across 15 areas of Liberia grow more food, eat better, and generate more income.
“The need is great, let’s not mince words,” said Liberia Minister of Agriculture Jeanine Milly Cooper, who welcomed the leaders to Liberia. “This is not a wealthy country. Besides the war, we’ve also had two pandemics — Ebola and COVID. … [Collaborations] such as what we enjoy with WFP and now with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — these are critical.”
