Surplus or Cash Aid

The above refrigerators, freezers, and stoves are surplus of ÖBO in Örebro Sweden which could

be donated to many developing countries in Africa if we are to meet the 2015 deadline of eradicating poverty in the World-goals set by the United Nations. Instead these are being

thrown away or call it recycle. Sweden is instead giving aid to African Governments in cash

instead of materials such as above or equipments such as hospital equipment, farming, educational, among others to help people of these African countries help themselves.

We have suggested on many occassions that material help to the people is much better and

very effective than sending hugh amount of money to African governments for development-

money that usually endup in the pockets of the government officials and not the ordinary people. We advice DIRECT HELP TO THE PEOPLE TO HELP THEMSELVES.

Örebro city council pays sek 54,000:- every month the collection the so call recycle materials

such as refrigerators, and household appliances, furniture, electronics among others.

We have suggested a pilot program where these materials will be loaded into a container and

shipped to the suffering people in war torn countries in Africa. Each container cost appro.

sek.18,000:-thus saving the city council and the tax payers sek. 36,000:- every month. seconly

and most importantly, these materials are going to people who needed them. Örebro city will

be lifting the standard of living of these people by this action. Is this possible? YES. I did it, and

continue to do it. Please join me. You see improvements in the lives of the ordinary people

every time.

Kpaytuo Health Center

This health Center was established in 1982 with help of a Swedish

surgeon who was then working for Lamco. During the 14 year civil

war the center was damaged and plundered of the equipment.It was

restablished in 2006 with medical equipment and supplies from Örebro.

The Swedish UN contingent helped with the transport of container

from Monrovia to Kpaytuo about 80 Swedish miles away from the seaport.

Thanks and Appreciation

Mr. Conte Dyrebrant, Chef Överskottcentralen

The Örebro Överskottcentralen in Örebro headed by Mr. Conte Dyrebrant and all members of his staff had been instrumental in helping

us acquire materials for war torn Liberia. We want to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to these

wonderful people for all the assistance given the Liberian people especially those in Kpaytuo, Nimba co. some 80 miles away from the city.

Farming/Transport

The Kpaytuo community is a farming community and has about ten
thousand inhabitants most of whom are women and children. The elderly also make a good part of this figure of ten thousand.

In order for ordinary farmers to prosper, there must be means by which
they can transport their produce to the market that is about 50-60 swedish miles away on a weekly basis. There should be some means of
transport. We have proposed a cooperate truck that will be used by all
farmers to get their produce to the market.

Most important, inorder for the farmers to contineously prosper, they have to be thought new methods of farming as they are still using the
stone age farming techniques.

Projects In Liberia

Orebro for Liberia has many ongoing projects in Liberia among them, Healthcare

delivery, education, farming and transport system,and home education for child soldiers and elderly women in the society that were not fortunate to get an education.

THE KPAYTUO HEALTH CENTER:

This health center was established in 1982 with the help of a Swedish surgeon who was then serving the Lamco J.V. Operating company in Buchanan. During the 14 years of bloddy civil war, the health center was severely damaged and plundered.

In 2006, after reading an article from the Webpage of the Royal Arm Forces of Sweden about the terrible health and other conditions in Liberia, we organised ourselves and the Örebro for Liberia organisation was established. Since then we have been involved in sending medical equipments and supplies to Liberia.

With the help of the Sweish UN contingent, we delivered two 20"containers to the

Kpaytuo health center and the Kpaytuo public school in June of 2006

KPAYTUO PUBLIC SCHOOL:

The Kpaytuo public shool needs educational material (instructional

materials-eg. pen, pencils, books, crayons,other stationaries etc)

The Orebro surplus center( overskottcentralen i orebro) headed by Mr.

Conte Dyrebrant has been very instrumental in providing some of these

materials for the Kpaytuo school, but much more needs to be done.

YEKEPA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL:

The Yekepa hospital was built by the Lamco J.V.Operating in the late 60s for the employees of Lamco and their dependents. The hospital also

served other none Lamco employee residents and the entire northeastern populance. It was upgraded in 1978 as a referal hospital.

After the closure of Lamco in 1989, some employees of the hospital

decided to keep the hospital running to meet the health needs of the

people.Few months later, the civil war that lasted for 14 years began and

hospital was plundered.

Our trip in June of 2006 to Liberia, Yekepa hospital benefited as some

of the equipment were delivered to the hospital to keep it running.We are greatful to our donors and the county council for the equipment and

supplies for Yekepa hospital.

Our needs now for Yekepa hospital are, X-ray Unit and or Ultrasound

unit. Please help us acquire one of the above to be able to properly

evaluate and diagnos our cases thus giving proper treatment to our patients.
