The SSH Fund allows the Ambassador to respond directly to requests from communities for small-scale, community-based development projects that promise to have immediate impact. We want to give them a little boost.”Speaking further, he said the Ambassador’s SSH Fund has assisted community groups in Liberia to develop lasting, self-sustaining projects that benefit entire communities. Each year, the SSH Fund supports approximately 12 to 15 projects with the awarding of grants between US$1,000 to US$10,000. It also supports economic development projects that increase a community’s financial resources for undertaking self-help projects on their own.
