Philosophy

Whatever business areas Gerlib will be active in, the protagonists agree that the company not only has its own benefit in mind but also and especially that of the Liberian community. The aim is to promote local value creation, as well as the education and training of young Liberians, to improve health care and to develop cultural identity. We want to offer the chance to get the best education possible without having to leave the country. Furthermore to develop Liberia’s reputation in the teaching and health sector. The company will align itself with the relevant agenda of the president. In a future hospital, even poor people will be treated at very low prices or even free of charge.

The name GERLIB

The name of the company is made up of GER for Germany and LIB for Liberia. It stands for the close friendship that both countries have maintained for a long time. And it stands for the very high quality of their offerings.

Supporters

On the German side, the young company receives support from Mr. Michael Kölsch, who represented the country in Germany for more than 12 years as Honorary Consul of the Republic of Liberia.
