About ANCHOR

Our Story

Established 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.

Our Vision

A healthy, resilient community where everyone has the support and opportunity to thrive.

Our Mission

To build and sustain community-led health and social support networks that improve wellbeing, strengthen resilience, and expand opportunities for all.

Our Approach

ANCHOR stands for its inclusive and community-driven approach. The people remain at the heart of our interventions, reflecting our core belief that sustainable change begins within the community itself.
