The Coalition of Civil Society Organizations of Liberia (CCSOL), a conglomeration of several civil society organizations, has bestowed and honored the Country Representative of Life for African Mothers (LFAM), Dr. Abdul-rahman Fayiah Bah, for his organization’s role in providing support and services to several African mothers.
Speaking on behalf of the organization, CCSOL National Chairman, Prince Grandoe, said the LFAM Country Representative and his organization were honored for their work to humanity: the provision of training to midwives as well as the provision of medical supplies over the years.
LFAM has, since 2016, provided training to over 500 traditional and medical midwives in over 13 counties in Liberia.
The local CSO, in her recognition to the LFAM Country Representative, noted that during their retreat they decided to vet organizations that are immensely contributing to the societal wellbeing of the ordinary masses of the Liberian populace. And based upon several names proffered, the Coalition of Civil Society Organizations of Liberia honored the LFAM Country Representative as the “Outstanding Country Representative of Year”.
Receiving the recognition on behalf of the Founder and Director of LFAM, Country Representative Dr. Bah said he was happy that the work and dream of LFAM is being realized and recognized by civil society actors.
According to the LFAM Country Representative, the dream of the founder of the organization, Angela Gorman, is to help African governments to reduce poverty, maternal mortalities, as well as empower mothers.
Therefore, LFAM has over the years been providing medication to a number of health facilities around the country as well as the training midwives, both traditional and medical.
Dr. Bah, on behalf of LFAM, thanked the Government of Liberia (GOL) for the collaboration over the years. He further promised that the organization will expand their scope of work throughout the 15 counties of Liberia.
“We believe in much work and less praise. However, we are very grateful to the CCSOL for the recognition bestow upon us today. And, by this, we promise and pledge our commitment to providing more services to our African mothers,” Dr. Bah stated.
