The first and second week of March were perhaps the busiest weeks so far since the year began, for President Joseph Nyuma Boakai’s JNB Foundation charity as the entity delivered tons of urgently needed food supplies to scores of adults and child-care orphanages across the country.
In fact, some of the centers’ directors like Mr. Joseph Zubah who runs the Joy Orphanage Aid Foundation in Monrovia that host more than 130 children told the foundation’s executives that his orphanage home had nearly run out of food when a message got to him that the JNB Foundation had assorted food for his center.
The Group of 77 and the Old Folks Home in Buchanan, the Child Development Institute of Foya (Lofa) and also Betty Jonah Orphanage in Yekepa, Nimba, were among the beneficiaries with each receiving from $1,338.00 to $1,500.00 worth of food assistance. Items included bags of rice, flour, beans (split peas), vegetable, tomatoes, and in some cases, sanitary pads for girls.
Other beneficiaries were, Restoring Hope Foundation in Bentol, S-PHEK, Christ Life Orphanage, and the Center for Rehabilitation and Reintegration, ELWUO Orphanage, Eliza memorial Academy, Ministry of Gender Children & Social Protection, and LRRR Holding Center, all located in the capital, Monrovia.
During the weekend of March 14-15, 2026, the JNB Foundation’s main boss Hon. Jackson K. George, Jr. did something he rarely do: he took a solo ride to the coastal city of Buchanan, Grand Bassa, carrying along a pick up load of food for the Group of 77 and the Old Folks Home there, an action he took in order to help clear the present shipment at hand while making a room for the next shipment the foundation is expecting anytime this week.
This food aid was shipped from Canada a few weeks ago for President Boakai’s charity by a humanitarian group called Advancing theological Education and Friends Committed to Caring based in Canada. The 40ft. container food aid which also included several mattresses and used office furniture had been secured by Atlas’ CEO Dr. Kent Singh along with Hon. Jallah Queena Hawa Konneh, Liberia’s trade & Investment Office’s representative in Canada.
In Monrovia, the JNB Foundation’s Executive Director Hon. Jackson K. George, Jr. led the distribution himself, later passing the task to his deputy, Mr. Henry Saah Flanpor, and the charity’s Women & Youth Empowerment head, Mrs. Doris P. Karngbeae, with each recounting President Joseph Nyuma Boakai’s national visions for Liberia, plus the roles of the foundation in changing peoples’ lives for better.
