ABOUT US

LOFA COUNTY DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION

The Lofa County Development Foundation (LOCDFO) is a nimble, results-oriented grantmaker dedicated to opening the windows of opportunity in some of Liberia's most hard-to-reach places. Founded by Senator Cllr. Joseph Jallah, the Foundation's vision is to make Lofa County a shining star among Liberia’s 15 counties.

OUR STORY

The foundation's voyage took off in 2010 at Kolba City, Kolahun District, when 50 Patriots signed a resolution to find the way forward for our great people, laying the groundwork for our mission. Inspired by the determination of Cllr. Sen. Joseph Jallah, especially after his Senate victory following three prior attempts, LOCDFO has been at the forefront of initiatives targeting change in Lofa’s communities.

We are dedicated to improving healthcare services in Lofa County. Our work includes enhancing local healthcare provision and supporting disease prevention initiatives. Our partnerships with local health organizations ensure that essential services reach the most vulnerable populations.
