Review for Foundation for Restoring Womens Healthcare to Liberia Inc., Waxahachie, TX, USA
The heart, soul, and fiscal responsibility of Healthy Women Healthy Liberia is found in the person of Dr Chris Hena. She truly LOVES the people of her native Liberia. She has seen the best of her people, has had to deal with the worst, and in the end; loves and cares for them all. She is backed by a Board of Directors who also seek to be good stewards of God's money.
When she returned to Liberia in 2012, she built the Waterfield Medical Center which provides excellent medical care to which Dr Hena added dental and eye clinics. Just recently I witnessed Dr Hena build a Maternity/Surgical/ER addition to the primary building. Dr Chris brought the project to completion ahead of time and UNDER budget! Who does that?? She did so by being very vigilant with a watchful eye and micro-management of the construction. She knew that there would be some duplicity, bribes, thefts, materials delayed in ports; but she was present to deal with issues as soon as it occurred. And did this all while running carefully the Waterfield Clinic.
Dr Chris realized at some point that some people would not be able to travel to the Clinic, and so she organized a team to go out into the community. They visit over 30 villages to provide health care, worm tablets, and vitamins. In Liberia worm pills and vitamins are not mere supplements, but vital medications. Of course, you need minivans to visit villages; and they can break down. To see how a new van was purchased and to repair the existing one was a masterpiece of fiscal responsibility, that I wish I could explain in detail.
I could go on and on about Dr Hena's many inventive ways she seeks to improve the health and welfare of her people because she LOVES them.
And in the end, these things are all done to the glory of God!
