Allan Klayee

Feed the Hungry has partnered with Feed The Hungry West Africa since 1994

Feed The Hungry is a global non-profit organisation dedicated to feeding hungry people, empowering the church, and sharing the hope that comes through Jesus Christ.

In the early 90’s Feed the Hungry worked in Liberia between the civil wars and connected with Allan Klayee at that time. FTH was involved in the relief of the people there and Dr. Sumrall spoke at an evangelism event which caused an increase in Christianity.

Allan’s partnership with FTH since then has helped fill a huge need in the nation of Liberia. His ministry has built a large platform that has allowed many people to be reached with the Gospel.

There are new opportunities appearing daily on places to feed and people to reach. Because of the growth and massive positive impact that Allan and Feed the Hungry has had on Liberia, many generations have come to know the Lord.

Long lasting economic instability and hardships are the main things Allan and his ministry constantly face. Liberia has one of the poorest economies in the world.

About Liberia

Liberia faces a number of ongoing challenges that affect the well-being of its people. Strong winds, water pollution, and illegal waste dumping threaten livelihoods, particularly for communities that depend on natural resources. As of 2022, the country was also home to approximately 2,300 refugees from Côte d’Ivoire. Liberia continues to struggle with the trafficking of heroin and cocaine, while corruption, arms dealing, and money laundering remain significant issues that hinder economic growth, weaken public trust, and slow national development.
