The institutions include, Farmer Friends of Liberia Inc.(FFL); Center for Our Common Future (CCF); Center for Advocacy Resource and

Development (CARD); Old Hand Concords Liberia (OCL); Top Developer Technology Solution (TDS) and Citizens Initiative For Total Empowerment (CITE).

Disclosing this over the weekend in an interview with the Liberia News Agency, the Project Coordinator, Fofee B.W Siryon, said the consortium of seven civil society institutions decided to lobby with their local and international partners to construct the facility to memorialize all those that have fallen prey to the Ebola epidemic.

Mr. Siryon said project code-named “Project Remember Us”, will include photographs and information about those that have died from the virus
throughout the country.

He said as a true manifestation of their commitment, the consortium is currently working with all Ebola Task Forces nationwide to collect
data of Ebola victims to place in the data base for the proposed the Ebola Museum.

He used the occasion to call on community dwellers, especially landlords or house owners to embrace those who have been fortunate to return from the various Ebola Treatment Units (ETUs) and stop frustrating them with stigmatization.

He expressed fear that stigmatizing Ebola survivors will discourage others affected from willingly volunteering to report themselves for treatment to Ebola Treatment Units or health facilities for fear of being isolated by community dwellers or friends.

Mr. Siryon noted that the action of the landlords or house owners and community dwellers could also lead to the spread of the virus because
carriers of the virus would be hiding themselves due to fear of being called Ebola victims.
