Brief view of the Afro-Humanist Foundation Center
Afro- Humanist Foundation Centre a refugee inspired non-sectarian, CBO, founded March 21, 2004. The aims and objectives of AHFC is to promote sanitation which include:
Overcoming widespread violence by working together to reduce the social and personal factors, which cause violence among people.
Contribute significantly to the reduction of malaria in population by giving priority to the reduction of the infant mortality caused by malaria.
To form groups of organizers on the subject of non-violence and procedures to avoid malaria.
To involve and organize the larger number of people in these objectives.
In keeping with these objectives, the AHFC has embarked on many cleaning up campaings within Zone 6 and 11 in the vicinity of SMA
Notwithstanding, the above organization has the vision working in all the eleven zones on Camp Buduburam as far spreading in all African countries thus the name, Afrohumanist.
The consequences the sanitation hazard posed on the residents and continuous warning of public Health workers constitutes our desire to undertake this project.
Since its establishment in March 2004, AHFC’s work and activities have earned her growing respect and recognition within the Refugees Community with her human resource and meager resources borrowing from CBW, LRWC and SMA.
ACHIEVEMENTS
Gain recognition from the Ghana chief in our community ,
by giving us an ideal spot to dispose gabbages ; putting in mechaqnism to enable us to execute the polluters pay principle (document is pending),
Networking with Children Better Way (CBW) a renounce Ngo on camp Buduburam ( they have been our strong hold on the line of tools)
Recognized by Liberia Refugee welfare Council (LRWC) and the camp Manager of the Buduburam Refugee Camp.
MISSION
The mission of AHFC is in two folds:
Stop Malaria and Education for non-violence campaign
Sanitation which include food, hygiene, watery supply, premises inspection, prevention of communicable diseases, refuse and excreta disposal for example school and eating establishment.
Enforcement of public Heath Laws
To organize seminars and workshop on public Health.
ACTIVITIES
Cleaning ups began in June 5, 2004 through Dec. 29, 2004.
Number of times worked from June to November, twenty-five Saturdays; twenty-five meetings were held. These meetings were held from June 5, 2004 to Dec. 2004 on each Sunday that follows the working day. In these meetings directors gives education for non-violence.
OBSERVATION
The onset community members were voluntarily making their contribution (food stuff, cash, human resource and personal tools).
We observed that after cleaning up, community members stop making their voluntary contributors. In addition, injured volunteers were not properly treated due to financial constraint of the group and feared of been victimized of communicable diseases and injury.
RECOMMENDATION
Funds be allocated to refresh volunteers after work as it may serve as motivation for the subsequent cleanup and also increment in work force.
Constuting an environmental protection agency to execute the polluter pay principle. (LRWC, GOMOA CHIEF/ GNP)
The Below Expenditure List is our first amount received from our International Coordinator in Chicago U.S. A on the __________ of Nov. 2005. This has atleast build up the team spirit but are inaduquate to meet up with our task to performed effectively. As you may see on the list there’s no rain boot, rubber gloves, and other materials to prevent volunteers from been infected.
