Christmas is a time to share good tidings and great joy to all. That’s why Environmental Rescue Initiative is embarking on a project to remove 7500 pieces of single used plastics from the environment in Harrisburg Township, Liberia 🇱🇷 in an effort to promote environmental sustainability. The plastic sachets removed from the environment will be recycled into book bags that will be given to female students from two schools in Montserrado County free of charge as their Christmas gift🎁. We invite to collaborate with us in putting smile on the faces of these students.

Our founder Mr. Abraham L B Freeman is given a rare and important opportunity to showcase our recycled backpacks 🎒 and raincoats at the 2024 UNC Water & Health Conference. In the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other technological advancements, the terminology technology and innovation can be humbling, but we made it among 20 amazing organizations and businesses that are solving water problems around the world 🌎. Thanks to your supports. You are the reason we keep recycling ♻️ one plastic at a time in underserved communities in Liberia 🇱🇷.

“Real change happens when we invest in people and the planet. A win for environmental sustainability is a win for Liberia’s future.”
A lot has been happening lately. We are glad to announce that Environmental Rescue Initiative has been awarded a certificate for successfully completing the USAID - US Agency for International Development Conservation Works Market Readiness Program in Liberia.
The Market Readiness Program provided training and mentorship designed to prepare small tourism businesses to be “market ready” for visitors eager to explore unique accommodations and tourism experiences across Liberia. It was an opportunity to network with fellow program participants and esteemed stakeholders in this space. Thanks to the Liberia National Tourism Association and partners for the opportunity. It is a necessary tool to help drive our goal of building a community-based Recycling Resource Center (RRC) that will eventually start a recycling revolution in Liberia.

On September 20, 2024, Environmental Rescue Initiative in collaboration with the Liberia National Tourism Association and the Harrisburg Citizens for Development joined millions of people around the word to celebrate World Cleanup Day 2024. This citizens-led initiative was graced by members of the Armed Forces of Liberia, the U.S. Embassy Monrovia, Liberia's Public Affairs Department, Students and women from the township of Harrisburg. We used the day to create awareness about the global burden of waste, and emphasized the roles of ordinary citizen in waste management. Thanks to our sponsors and partners for their support in making this day a success.
Attendance: 51
Impact: We cleanup an dump site removing 73 loads of waste. The plastic content of the waste will be recycled into beautiful back bags and rain coats.

It’s more than two years already, and we are still making impact. Thanks to the U.S. Embassy Monrovia, Liberia for the grant.

A local organization, Environmental Rescue Initiative is using a $4,000 Ambassador’s Special Self–Help (SSH) Grant to turn plastic waste into shopping bags in the Township of Harrisburg, near Liberia’s Mount Coffee Hydropower Plant.

Abraham L.B. Freeman, a Liberian environmentalist who works at the plant, came up with the idea for the project after plastic was discovered in one of the plant’s pipes during routine maintenance.

The Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Fund (SSH) assists community groups in Liberia to develop lasting, self-sustaining projects that benefit entire communities.

Since 2004, SSH grants have contributed to agricultural modernization, economic development, improving sanitation, empowering vulnerable populations (women, youth, and persons with disabilities), improving learning conditions, and expanding access to clean water, health services, and education.

In keeping with societal change, thereby positively ensuring that our environment is kept clean thus using waste (single-used plastic) to produce rain gears, back bags, etc., we are focus towards decentralizing our production site, starting with Monrovia, so as to incorporate determined, dedicated, disciplined young people or emerging environmentalists in joining our team.

We believe that this process of decentralization and incorporating like-minded young people is a form of empowerment.

As we forge ahead, don't forget to purchase. Come and buy your strong Liberia-made back bags.

We have lots of designs with different prices— $30, $25, $20, $15 according to sizes.
