Did you know about the Liberian Respiratory Care Institute?

Did you know that Partner Liberia founded and credentialed the Liberian Respiratory Care Institute (LRCI)? The first of its kind in West Africa, LRCI is a respiratory therapy college that provides training and job placement to Liberians wanting to enter the healthcare field. Morbidity and mortality secondary to respiratory illness has since decreased by 20% overall and by more than 50% in neonatal patients at facilities staffed by LRCI graduates.

Did you also know that the two year degree program costs roughly $350 total per student? Consider making a gift of $50 to cover registration costs for an LRCI student or $150 to cover a full year of tuition. Graduates of the LRCI earn good jobs in a country where they can be hard to find. In addition, graduates strengthen the healthcare sector of Liberia by working everyday to address the leading causes of death in the country.
