DELTA-Human Rights Foundation History
History
DELTA-Human Rights Foundation Inc. is a Liberian human rights foundation aimed at cultivating communities of human rights in the Central Region of Liberia. It is based on both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Principles of Paulo Freire
The DELTA-Human Rights Foundation started from many informal discussions between two human rights activists/advocate, namely, Mr. Jesse B. Cole, former Regional Director of the Justice and Peace Commission (JPC) in the Catholic Diocese of Gbarnga and the present Executive Director of the Foundation for International Dignity (FIND) more than five years back. These discussions were usually after work but mainly focused at situation in our country, communities and families. Discussing these issues and looking out for possible options landed us to many intervention - to include paying fees for students, helping struggling families based on their issues as well as making small contributions to some community groups.
In furtherance of our discussion we embark on saving some little money to start a community project based on community needs, but at the time, they never had a specific project. From the saving and donations from friends and those who knew our interventions and commitment to communities, some monies were save for a community project up to September 2018 but the project had not been identified. However, listening to the news and other media outlet, it became evident that the issue of street lights was paramount. A lawmaker had promised to provide at least a thousand pieces of solar street lights and it was not forth coming. Against the numerous calls, we decided to procure one hundred solar street lights and poles and planted them on major streets and business squares in Gbarnga B**g County, Liberia. The objective of the project was to erect one hundred solar street lights along the newly built road by GoL and major street intersection which continually posed threat to citizens, especially women, girls and children at night. This project started in September 2018 and was successfully completed in January 2019. The project was implemented under the name “ Jesse Barchue Cole, the Carpenter son and Aaron G V Juakollie Foundation”. After this intervention, the two rights activist/advocates discussions continued and they decided to established a human rights foundation and have it incorporated. The strategic planning process for the rights foundation started while Jesse was serving at the Justice and Peace Commission in the Catholic Diocese of Gbarnga while Aaron was serving as the National Program officer for FIND. We used the organization development capacity developed while we were serving at the Development Education Network-Liberia (DEN-L) and other institutions to develop the strategic document for he foundation. Based on the constant consultation with colleagues, fans, mentors and learnings from troubles experienced while working with the non-for-profit organizations for over fifteen years, helped the rights activist/advocate give birth to the “DELTA-HUMAN RIGHTS FOUNDATION Inc.”
