According to her, the West Point Women for Health and Development Organization is making sure that women be empowered and get the necessary support to make their lives meaningful in the society.

Madam Cooper at the same time called on the Government of Liberia (GOL) to aid them their support in order to run the day-to-day activities of their office.
“We are not enemies of the government but rather buttressing their efforts, and this is the time that the government really needs to help us in terms of budgetary support,” she intoned.
WPWHDO boss further complained of facing serious electricity problem and wants the government to find a remedy, stating that a country that cannot work on its electricity crisis is headed nowhere.
