This month marked a major logistical milestone for the Sarbo Development Center project in Sweaken, River Gee County, Liberia, as essential building materials were transported from the capital city, Monrovia, to the construction site. Moving materials over the long, rugged roads that connect Monrovia to rural River Gee County proved to be a challenging but vital step in advancing this transformative project.
The Sarbo Unity Foundation, which leads this development, relies heavily on these critical shipments of cement, lumber, steel, and other essential construction materials. The journey from Monrovia to Sweaken, a distance of hundreds of miles, required careful coordination, particularly given the road conditions and the unpredictable weather that often affects Liberia’s infrastructure.
Transporting these materials by truck over difficult terrain involved a series of logistical steps, from loading the trucks in Monrovia, navigating the pothole-ridden roads, and coordinating with local drivers and volunteers to ensure each shipment arrived safely. The dedication of the transport team, as well as the support of the Sarbo community, was instrumental in overcoming these challenges.
Each successful delivery marks progress not only in the physical construction but in the promise of accessible education and vocational training for the Sarbo Tribe and surrounding communities. Every beam, bag of cement, and length of steel transported brings the Sarbo Development Center one step closer to reality, furthering the Foundation’s mission to empower the community through education, health, and skill development.
In the coming months, the Foundation looks forward to seeing the Sarbo Development Center take shape. With each shipment, they continue to lay the groundwork for a future where young people in the region will no longer need to leave home for educational and economic opportunities. The Sarbo Unity Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to its supporters and all who contribute to this journey. Together, they are building more than just a center; they are building a legacy for future generations in River Gee County.
