Join us in advancing rights, awareness, and inclusive development through collective action and partnership.
As part of IWA-Liberia's long-term development strategy, the IWA-Liberia Village Initiative is designed to establish a comprehensive, integrated, and sustainable center of excellence for persons with Down syndrome and other intellectual and developmental disabilities. Planned on approximately five acres in Mont Barclay, Montserrado County, and inspired by the Debora Foundation model in Ethiopia, the village will integrate inclusive education, healthcare and therapy, recreation and wellness, guest accommodation, temporary residential care, and livelihood spaces for vocational and income-generating activities.
This campaign coordinates county-facing dialogues, media messaging, and stakeholder engagement to challenge harmful misconceptions and promote acceptance, dignity, and equal opportunity for persons with Down syndrome in Liberia.
This campaign advances policy dialogue and stakeholder action toward inclusive systems in health, education, and social protection. IWA supports evidence-based recommendations and citizen-centered advocacy to ensure persons with Down syndrome are fully represented.
This campaign strengthens family and caregiver capacity through structured orientation, peer support, and community-based guidance. It supports IWA's psychosocial and family support priorities while reinforcing referral pathways into health, education, and rights services.
