Margibi County , Liberia — In a strong demonstration of compassion and community service, the Martin K. N. Kollie Foundation on Thursday, January 22, 2026, carried out a one-day free medical outreach for old folks, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups at the Ma. Juah Hospital in Armbush Curve Community, Lower Margibi County.
The outreach, which was sponsored by Liberian exiled activist and philanthropist Martin K. N. Kollie, brought together trained doctors, physicians, and nurses from Montserrado and Margibi counties.
The medical team provided free consultations, treatment, and laboratory testing to beneficiaries who otherwise would not have access to proper healthcare due to financial hardship.
More than five hundred (500) people benefited from the program, including elderly citizens, disabled individuals, albinos, and disadvantaged youths. Beneficiaries were drawn from both Margibi and Montserrado counties, many of whom arrived at the health facility as early as dawn to take advantage of the free services.
Speaking to Verity News from the Netherland, the Chief Executive Officer of the foundation, Martin K. N. Kollie, said the initiative was driven by the suffering of elderly people who are often forgotten by society. “There are many old folks who cannot afford medical treatment because of poverty. Some of them spend their old age in constant pain and illness, with no one to help them,” Kollie said. “This foundation exists to restore hope and dignity to such people.”
Beneficiaries expressed deep gratitude for the intervention. Sixty-one-year-old Mariah Johnson
MARIAH W. JOHNSON, who received treatment for high blood pressure, described the outreach as a blessing. “I have been sick for months, but I don’t have money to go to the hospital. Today, God remembered me through this foundation,” she said with tears in her eyes.
Another beneficiary, Mr. James Doe, a visually impaired man from Montserrado County, praised the organizers. “This is the first time someone has considered people like us. They tested me, gave me medicine, and treated me with respect,” he noted.
Madam Comfort Kolleh, an elderly woman who traveled from Kakata, said the program saved her life. “If this help did not come, I don’t know what would have happened to me. I pray that God blesses Martin Kollie with long life and success,” she said.
Many beneficiaries could not hold back their emotions as they showered Activist Kollie with prayers for prosperity, good health, and longevity.
The Martin K. N. Kollie Foundation has assured the public that it remains committed to continuing similar humanitarian initiatives across Liberia, especially for those most in need.
