The National Food Assistance Agency (NFAA) has commenced series of food assistance activities in the slum communities of Monrovia and other surrounding areas ahead of the rainy season.
The activities, which took off in West Point early Wednesday, May 20, 2026, were extended to three other vulnerable groups in the FDA community in Paynesville. The exercise witnessed a number of older folks, the blind and disabled citizens joyously receiving their food rations.
Food items shared amongst the beneficiaries included 25 kg bags of rice, cartoons of argo oil, large gallons of palm oil, bunches of plantains, bags of beans and cassava.
Approximately 1,500 vulnerable persons are expected to be fed by the close of the six-day government-sponsored food distributions.
Making the presentation of the items in the FDA community, DG Borkai A.M. Sirleaf called on both local and international philanthropists to help government help its needy citizens with food needs. Hon. Sirleaf said the current food distribution exercise is made possible by funding from national government and partners. He called on other goodwill institutions and individuals to take cue from other humanitarian organizations like Topnk Medical Supply based in USA who, he said, had channeled food aids through NFAA to the needy in Liberia over a couple of years.
DG Sirleaf then expressed profound thanks and appreciation to Mrs. Peterlyn Killen Morrison, CEO of Topnk Medical Supply, and other heads of corporate institutions in and out of the country for their dedication to strengthening Liberia’s food assistance programs to improve the livelihoods of the nation’s food-insecure population.
