WHAT WE DO
About Us

Refuge Place International (RPI) was established in 2009
in response to the high rate of maternal and child mortality in Liberia, one of
the poorest countries in the world. Half of the country’s population (50.9%)
live in abject poverty (Liberia Institute for Statistics and Geo-information
Services) and over 65% of the population lives on less than $2 a day. Access to
quality healthcare is hampered by poor road conditions and lack of ambulances
and high unemployment rate (approximately 85%).
RPI works with community leaders to ensure that all
clinics are built through strong partnership between the local community and
RPI. We charge a minimum fee for a full range of treatment including a
laboratory and an ambulance service for referral of complicated cases. We
provide free medical treatment to the blind and the elderly (65 years old and
above); over 2,500 elderly people have benefited from this service to date. For
extremely poor community members who cannot afford treatment cost, RPI has an
aid program to enable them receive services for free. Many of RPI patients
travel long distances to come to the clinics because it is their only option for
quality and affordable health care.
