Despite the daunting challenges of the global financial crisis, down to the constant wave of attacks by illicit tapers and rubber theft, Firestone Liberia retained an unimpeachable record during 2009.
The company expanded health and educational facilities in its concession area and provided free medication and transportation for workers and school children. For the first time in the company’s decades of operations in the country, it held its first senior high school graduation in 2009, graduation more than 120 students. The company has built a modern market ground for thousands of marketer the trade in the area for survival and continues the construction of modern housing units for its workers. All these are programs that have impacted lives at the concession.
But, beyond that, the company has stretched its humanitarian tentacles to the larger Liberian society. The company during the year provided scholarships to more than 100 Liberian students at various universities, colleges and high schools in the country, in the face of harsh economic realities, to continue their education. Most remarkably, Firestone Liberia moved in to help the state-run University of the Liberia by reconstructing one of its important buildings—the Firestone Quadrangle Science Building. The reconstruction of the structure has helped to solve some serious office and seating capacity problems at the over populated University. Definitely, no other concessionaire has provided such quality services to the Liberian people than Firestone Liberia, that’s why it is our Concessionaire Of The Year 2009.
