The Indian Consul General, Jeety has extended his good-will or benevolent gesture to the Monrovia Central Prison (commonly called South Beach) by giving some food items to the inmates.
He made a donation of 200 bags of 25kg rice with an unspecified number of gallons of oil to the Assistant Minister of Correction and Rehabilitation, Eddie Tarawali, for the prisoners or inmates at the Central Prison.
The donation is the businessman’s way of identifying with the many prisoners who are serving their sentences at the facility and also part of the fight against COVID-19 that has held the entire globe hostage for several months now.

Upon receiving the donation, the head of all prisons in Liberia, Assistant Minister Tarawali commended Jeety’s kind-heartedness, expressing appreciation for such a compassionate spirit exhibited by the humanitarian. He also promised to use the donation wisely for the intended purpose.
From the very beginning of the fight against COVID-19, Jeety has made several donations in Monrovia including the 25 bags of 25kg-rice along with 50 hand washing buckets to the Press Union of Liberia and Monrovia City Corporation to mention just a few.
Jeety will also be well remembered after the coronavirus for his regular feeding exercise throughout the pandemic by bringing economic relief to thousands of less fortunate, needy as well as corporations and prison compounds in Monrovia.
Children being served food during distribution
The distribution process has been going on for about two months now, with several communities, inmates, less fortunate individuals numbering in tens of thousands being served with more to be reached as the exercise rolls on.
some of the communities served so far in Monrovia and its environs during the previous two weeks include Vai Town, Group of 77 on Newport Street, Buchannan Street, and Mamba Point Car Wash Center, Trench Town down Randall Street, Center Street, Slipway Field and Logan Town.
Even before the coronavirus, the name Jeety had become a household name to many Liberians who have heard or benefited from his numerous kind deeds, and there is no telling that he is going to stop anything soon as he has vowed to keep impacting the lives of poor people as long as he has the capacity to do so.
