Henry Snyder - The Niapele Project

Since August 2008, Henry Snyder has been The Niapele Project’s Programs Manager, based out of Monrovia, Liberia. We are very lucky to have this man of integrity and compassion on our staff— this his story: 

“My name is Henry A. Snyder, a graduate of the A.M. E. Zion University College, Monrovia Liberia. I have resided in Liberia my whole life, even during the Liberian civil war which devastated the entire nation and killed over 250,000 people, forced almost 50% of Liberia’s population to seek refuge in other countries in the sub-region, and also caused huge internal displacement of people for over a decade and a half. As a college student during the war period, in the 1990s, I was heavily engaged with humanitarian work as a volunteer, providing some services for vulnerable groups: Orphans, unaccompanied children, internally displaced persons (IDP), refugees, physically challenged /people with disabilities and other war-affected people. 

I was also hired by many international humanitarian organizations over the years, including some United Nations agencies to carry out the following activities: general food distribution, repatriation of refugees and internally displaced persons, demobilization of ex combatants and supervised the implementation of community based recovery projects.  

Presently, I’m providing some services for The Niapele Project in Liberia, where I liaise with national government through grass root organizations and other non-governmental organizations for the successful implementation of long-term sustainable development children related projects.”
