Water Is Life | Liberia Update
A New Venture for Lifesong Liberia.
Lifesong Liberia has started a new business! A new venture named Lifesong Water was recently launched in Monrovia, where there is great need for purified drinking water. Lifesong Water is helping meet that need, while providing production and marketing training for some of our kids. As this project grows, it will become a sustainable business for us.
We are hopeful that this business will continue to grow and will lead to more sustainability for Lifesong Liberia in the future.
Water from city wells is purified and then packaged into small plastic bags. The bags are further packaged into larger sacks, which are sold to schools, churches and other businesses. Several of our students are involved in production three days each week and others are learning accounting practices, as they track sales and inventory. This project has already shown a profit, and is particularly valuable during the dry season, when the demand for clean and affordable drinking water increases. Start-up funds were generously provided by RetailROI, as part of our vocational program, which we greatly appreciate!
Please pray with us that Lifesong Water would be a long-term success. We desire that our children learn the value of hard work, dependability and excellence in business.
