The Population Caring Organization was founded in May 2003 in response to the needs of Liberian refugees in the Buduburam Refugee Settlement in Ghana. At the time, Buduburam was home to more than 42,000 refugees from the Liberian civil war.  PCO was founded by Mr. Emmanuel G.V. Dolo, a Liberian refugee living in Ghana.

Emmanuel and his collegues saw the need to volunteer their time to the cause of improving the living conditions of suffering people.
PCO is an officially-registered NGO with the Ghanaian government as well as the Liberian government, and is currently making plans to set up another office in Liberia.  In addition, PCO is working to become registered in the United States as a non-profit organization.  Because we do not have the funds to hire any lawyers or accountants, this is a slow-going endeavor.  If you would like to donate your professional services to this cause, please contact our U.S. representative .
