Merck (www.MerckGroup.com), a leading science and technology company, today marks ‘International Women’s Day’ with the launch of ‘Merck More than a Mother’ and ‘Merck STEM for Girls and Women’ program for the first time in Liberia. ‘Merck More than a Mother’ will empower infertile women in Liberia through improving access to information, health, change of mind-set and economic empowerment. In Liberia both ‘Merck More than a Mother’ and ‘Merck STEM’ program are in partnership with the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection and the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. We also decided to partner with ‘Merck STEM’ program to empower our girls in STEM. In Liberia, in partnership with the Ministry of Gender and Ministry of Health, Merck supported infertile women groups from Westpoint, Liberia to establish small businesses.
