ADNews-Monrovia: Bishop Nimley J. Donyen, a prominent Liberian clergyman, humanitarian, and politician, remains steadfast in his commitment to community development and human capacity building. His recent efforts in Montserrado District #2 and Clay Asland have further solidified his reputation as a dedicated servant leader.

Over the past few months, Bishop Donyen, along with his team, has been actively engaged in several key projects aimed at improving the living conditions of residents in these areas. These projects, which include constructing public facilities, and renovating local markets, have been financed through an investment of approximately US$11,000.00.

The majority of these efforts have focused on Montserrado District #2, where Bishop Donyen is being vowing for a representative seat. His outreach also extends into Montserrado District #1, particularly the Clay Asland area, where he has made significant contributions since 2001.

Among the many projects, one of the standout initiatives is the construction of an Open-Air Pavilion in the Chicken Farm Community in Jacob Town, Paynesville, located in Montserrado District #2. This pavilion is being constructed to serve as a vocational school, which will serve as a hub for skill development and empowerment for local residents.

In Clay Asland, Bishop Donyen’s team has constructed a quick-impact school building for children, ranging from Nursery through to third grade. This initiative aims to improve access to education for young learners in the area.

Bishop Donyen has also turned his attention to the renovation of key local markets, including Johnsonville Rehab Market and Pepper Wulu Town Market. These busy marketplaces, which he built in 2017, had long been in need of repair, and his interventions have brought much-needed relief to local traders. The improvements have not only enhanced the aesthetics of the markets but have also addressed longstanding issues that had affected the well-being of traders.

In addition to his infrastructure projects, Bishop Donyen has demonstrated a high level of religious tolerance. He recently supported Amina Mosque in the Johnsonville Red Hill Community by donating US$770.00 to help connect the mosque to a reliable water supply from the hydro in White Plains. This gesture highlights his commitment to fostering peace and cooperation between Liberia’s Christian and Muslim communities.

Local residents have expressed immense gratitude for Bishop Donyen’s continuous support. Madam Susan Korpo Belleh, Assistant Superintendent of the Pepper Wulu Town Market, praised the Bishop for his ongoing assistance. “Bishop Donyen is our rescuer. He built the market for us in 2017, and since then, no one else has come to our aid. He even proposed to bring us a water system, but political hurdles have delayed this project. Nevertheless, we are forever grateful for his unwavering support,” she said.

Christian S. Weah, a prominent resident of District #2, shared his perspective on the Bishop’s impact. “Bishop Donyen has been a constant source of support for our community. He helped families affected by floods by providing over 300 bundles of zinc, and he has also sponsored several university scholarships to support our students. His initiatives are a continuation of the extensive development work he has been doing for years,” Weah emphasized.

The Chairman of Amina Mosque, Mohammed Dawon, also expressed deep appreciation for Bishop Donyen’s support. “Bishop Donyen’s love for the Muslim community is immeasurable. He has been there for us every time we’ve called upon him for help. He loves everyone, regardless of their faith or background,” Chairman Dawon concluded.

Bishop Nimley J. Donyen’s ongoing initiatives reflect his broader vision of community development, religious tolerance, and social empowerment. As he continues to invest in the people of Montserrado District #2 and beyond, his humanitarian work stands as a testament to his dedication to building a better, more inclusive Liberia.
