Speaking at the ground breaking ceremony for the bridges project, Mr. Charleson, on behalf of the Foundation’s CEO, Mr. Orlando S. Yelobah, reaffirmed the Foundation’s unwavering commitment to impacting the lives of ordinary Liberians back home (Lofa) who continue to live in abject poverty and deprivation, amidst the huge national endowment of natural resources in

He said, the Yelobah-Cares Foundation is involved with the economic empowerment and social development of underprivileged persons and communities in Voinjama, Lofa County as a way of impacting the overall development of Liberia, as well as assisting in the process of social integration and personal realization of underprivileged children, young people, adults and families.
