Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>A local group calling itself Movement For Change (MOC) has embarked on efforts to improve sanitation across Monrovia and its surroundings.<\/p>\n

The group is made up of mostly youths between the ages of 18-35. It has complained about the poor sanitation issues in Monrovia and other communities.<\/p>\n

It believes that poor sanitation results in several health complications in society, deaths, and a short life span for the youthful population.<\/p>\n

MOC said this needs the government\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

Nellyville Mohammed, head of the local sanitation group, acknowledged that the effect of poor sanitation poses serious threats to human lives.<\/p>\n

Nellyville stated that the MOC is here to get the job done across the length and breadth of Liberia.<\/p>\n

He called for support from the government, individuals, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to expand the project into other communities.<\/p>\n

Since its establishment, MOC has embarked on \u201cHealthy Community, Healthy Life\u201d sanitation programs across Paynesville. Communities targeted include 72nd, Police Academy, Neezo, and the commercial hub, Redlight.<\/p>\n

Mohammed said cleaning the communities requires collective efforts, including residents whom he said are mostly at risk.<\/p>\n

According to him, backyard wastes, garbage, and dumpsites in these communities cause serious health hazards.<\/p>\n

He urged the Monrovia City Corporation (MCC) and the Paynesville City Corporation (PCC) to institute measures in line with the laws and city ordinances that require everyone to get involved.<\/p>\n

Mohammed believes that Liberia can be a clean place if sanitation is addressed with the collective support of every Liberian.<\/p>\n

He pledged his group\u2019s commitment to improving and resolving the challenges in the sector if the necessary support is given.<\/p>\n
