✧ EDINA BIRTHING CENTER - LIBERIA ✧

 “When we achieve something truly rare, that success becomes more than a personal milestone; it becomes an instrument for the greater good. As human beings, our highest calling is to lift one another and rise together. After our recent six-month sailing expedition from Canaries to Angola, I feel a profound responsibility to ensure our efforts bring tangible relief to those who need it most. My experiences in Liberia touched me deeply, and I am fully committed to transforming the results of our journey into a lasting, positive impact for the people there. A portion of all proceeds from my books, upcoming features, and future media engagements will be donated to the expansion of maternal care facilities in Edina, Liberia." - Elena Levon

In February 2026, we became the first documented private sailing vessel to arrive in Liberia in recent maritime history. This journey also involved a 1,000+ nautical-mile "against the grain" crossing of the Central Gulf of Guinea—navigating through an active piracy zone and through the heart of Intertropical Convergence Zone.

While this voyage established a significant maritime milestone for female sailors in West Africa, the true heart of the mission was discovered on land. In Edina village, Liberia, I was introduced to a local maternity ward by a civil war survivor who overcame his lifelong fear of the ocean to assist us. Seeing the conditions there, I realized that my "first" should serve a higher purpose: ensuring that every woman, regardless of geography, can give life in safety and dignity.

Goal — The Construction of two additional maternity rooms.
