I was born and lived an improvised and neglected childhood in a rural part of Liberia in West Africa. Liberia is one of the poorest countries in the world with one of the highest death rates, especially for pregnant women and children. I had many life challenges: I endured child abuse, hunger, many illnesses, intermittent dropouts from school due to financial difficulties, homelessness, walking bare feet (no shoes) to school, and working as early as the age of 10 years old to get money to be able to attend school and eat. Many children suffer similar situations in other African countries leading to high illiteracy rates, high teenage pregnancies, and overall poor health outcomes. These poor health outcomes especially among children, pregnant women, elders, and the disabled are mostly due to problems related to limited or no services and healthcare. The problems are especially dire for the poor, rural, hard and far to reach, and other vulnerable populations. Despite my life challenges growing up, I was blessed to receive a better livelihood and raise a large family. My impoverished grandmother and many kind people helped me along the way. I attained high quality education including nursing and biology\/chemistry in Liberia, then biology\/pre-medicine as well as other disciplines up to a doctorate (PhD) specializing in maternal and child health epidemiology in the United States of America. Like many other professionals who had similar experiences, I have decided to use my past experiences as an inspiration to help others as well to especially reduce the ongoing poor health outcomes affecting pregnant women and children in Africa. I founded a nonprofit organization called Roads To Health (RTH) which targets rural, hard to reach, and vulnerable population. RTH works with existing systems to integrate agriculture (nutrition and food security), education (literacy and school based), and health (access to primary health care, outreach, and service utilization) programs with the goal of developing sustainable health outcomes through research and other evidence-based activities. We are currently carrying out activities in Liberia and developing similar activities in Guinea and other countries.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Our Team<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-content-justification-center is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"757\" height=\"714\" src=\"https:\/\/agrohealths.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-16-154053.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-648\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Sustain.
