Many families and schools in Liberia do not have the needed school resources to ensure that the children receive a quality education. Some schools do not have enough chairs for all the kids to sit on. So, some kids carry chairs to and from their home each day. Other kids, whose families cannot afford to purchase chairs, sit on the floor. This project will raise the funds necessary to ship chairs from Tennessee or buy 100 chairs locally for students in Liberia.
The Liberian education system is emerging from a prolonged and brutally destructive period of civil unrest. Liberia is significantly behind most other countries in the African region in nearly all education statistics. This had led to dire situations such as barren classrooms and run-down school facilities. the inadequate school facilities are affecting learning as the school children do not have a conducive environment for learning. Imagine having to sit on the floor the whole day!
This project will provide 100 chairs to the school so that children do not have to sit on the floor or carry chairs from their homes. This will contribute towards better learning, achievement, and progress for each kid. Ensuring that these kids have a solid educational foundation is an excellent investment into their lives and the future of Liberia.
Underprivileged children will get a decent education - transforming their lives and providing opportunities for growth, and contribution to national development. By upgrading the quality of education offered in schools, we will be helping to transform communities and the entire nation. Investing in child development is critical for human development and we cannot talk about economic growth without talking about healthy and literate communities.
