Liberian Observer (June 20th, 2023) The Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Liberia is planning to expand its fish farming project this year. The project, currently comprising just four ponds, is the beginning of an ambitious vision to cultivate 150 acres of land in Todee District, rural Montserrado County. The property — 200 acres in all — was deeded to the YMCA of Liberia, by the people of Todee, for its agricultural programs.
