Advancing Nurturing Communities for Health Outcomes & Resilience in Liberia
Join Our MissionEstablished in 2025, ANCHOR was born from a passion for finding local solutions to recurring health and social issues faced by communities in Liberia. What began as "Caring for the Caregivers" in 2022 evolved into a comprehensive health and social impact organization.
