Q: just wondering if i sent 100.00 2 someone in liberia if that would alot of money to them?
A: US$100 would be a lot of money to someone in Liberia. The Gross Domestic Product per person is estimated to be $500. This means that the average Liberian makes about $500 in a year. Unemployment was estimated at 85% in 2003. Additionally, it is estimated that 80% of the population live below the poverty level. If you send US$100 to someone in Liberia stick conditions on it such as they need to use it to improve their life (such as start a small business {waiter market}, buy a sewing machine, buy seed for a garden, etc) and not buy Club Beer and jewelry. As for the exchange rate in Liberian dollars, it's more important what a person can buy then the exchange rate. As mentioned US$1 is about LIB$63 but they are not going to be able to buy the equal of US$63 for their LIB$63. With US$1/LIB$63 they should be able to buy enough food for a day or two.
