Liberia: Caught On Tape - ADRA in U.S.$100 K Ebola Survivors Scandal

Monrovia — The outbreak of Ebola in Liberia has been serving as a cash cow for institutions, Liberians and officials who have been using the crisis to seek donations from foreign partners only to amass wealth. During the heat of the outbreak, many public officials and civil society actors solicited huge sum of money from donor partners under the guise of fighting the virus from Liberia. Many donor partners pumped in money to support the fight against Ebola from Liberia and keep survivors of the virus in good health.

One humanitarian organization that was involved in the fight against Ebola from the region is the Seventh Days Advantage (SDA) Church developmental arm, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) Germany. Audio recording and documents in the possession of the FrontPageAfrica reveal that ADRA Germany during the Ebola crisis donated over US$100,000 (hundred thousand) to ADRA Liberia to support Ebola survivors in Liberia under a special project headed by the Executive Director of ADRA Liberia, Anthony Zaizay and Pastor Youkonjay Barnard, coordinated by Jerry Doe of ADRA Liberia.
