Creating a Safer and Better Learning Environment Through School Renovation in Bassa Town, Liberia

By Abigail S. Teah | Media and Communication Officer

We are excited to share with our generous donors and supporters the ongoing renovation and transformation taking place at the Carolyn A. Miller Campus. Thanks to your continued support, we are making significant progress toward creating a safer, cleaner, and more comfortable learning environment for our students and teachers.

One of the major improvements underway is the laying of tiles in each classroom, replacing unsuitable and damaged surfaces with clean, durable floors. The project also includes the paving of the entire campus with cement, which will improve accessibility and provide students with a safer and cleaner environment, especially during the rainy season.

We are also renovating and improving the computer room to create a better space for students to develop important digital and technological skills. In addition, the school buildings are being repaired and prepared for painting, giving the entire campus a renewed and welcoming appearance.

These improvements are much more than construction work—they are an investment in the future of the children we serve. A safe, clean, and beautiful learning environment can encourage students to attend school, concentrate on their education, and dream bigger about their futures.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our GlobalGiving donors and supporters for believing in our mission. Your generosity is helping us transform the Carolyn A. Miller Campus step by step and move closer to providing our students with the learning environment they truly deserve. Thank you for helping us build a better campus and a brighter future for our children!

Carolyn A. Miller High School Celebrates Another Year in Bassa Town, Liberia.

By Abigail S Teah | Media and Communication Officer

On behalf of our students, VAAFD family want to sincerely thank you for all your support toward our programs this year.

we are excited to share highlights from the recent anniversary celebration of Carolyn A. Miller High School in Paynesville City. Thank you for your continued support that makes programs like this possible and helps us create joyful, memorable experiences for our students.

This year’s anniversary was filled with energy, faith, and school pride. The entire school community gathered for a anniversary Day celebration that brought students, teachers, parents, and alumni together. The day was marked with prayers, cultural presentations, games, and activities that showcased student talent and unity.

One of the most exciting moments was the school parade. Students proudly wore different colors of T-shirts to represent their houses. With songs, banners, and smiles, they paraded through the streets of Bass Town in Paynesville City. Community members lined the streets to cheer them on, and the sight of so many bright colors moving together was a powerful picture of youth and hope.

After the parade, the campus came alive with games and friendly competitions. Students participated in races, football, and other team activities, all while laughing, cheering, and building friendships. The atmosphere was one of pure joy, and it was clear that the students felt seen, valued, and celebrated.

Events like this do more than create memories. They build confidence, strengthen school spirit, and remind students that they are part of a caring community. Because of you, we are able to provide safe spaces for students to learn, grow, and celebrate who they are. Your investment is visible in every smile, every cheer, and every step they took through Bass Town.

We are deeply grateful for your partnership. The success of this anniversary is a direct reflection of your generosity. As we look ahead to the next school year, we pray for your continued support so we can give more students experiences that inspire them to excel academically, socially, and spiritually. Thank you for making this celebration possible.

VAAFD is sponsoring a Rising female footballer from Carolyn A Miller High School in Paynesville City

By Abigail S Teah | Media and Communication Officer

Bendu is 17 years old and is attending Carolyn A Miller High School in Liberia. She's a Student-athlete whose story shows what's possible when talent meets opportunity and Support.

Bendu’s journey has not been easy, but her faith and determination have carried her forward. Joining the Liberia Female Football Association changed her life and made her family proud. Football taught her discipline, Strength, and resilience, and with her mother’s Support, it became her dream.

VAAFD plans to Sponsor Bendu through targeted Support that addresses both her education and her football development. This includes:

1. Academic Support: Ensuing Bendu can Stay in School without financial Strain, So She completes her education while pursuing football.

2. Training & Equipment: Providing access to better training resources, gear, and coaching to help her develop technically and physically.

3. Mentorship & Care: Connecting her with mentors and ensuring She has the guidance and care needed to grow on and off the pitch.

She balances the demands of School and football every day – early mornings for classes, training in the evenings, and late nights to keep up with Schoolwork. It’s tiring, but Bendu stays focused because She has a goal: to become a professional footballer and create a better future for herself and her family. Bendu’s parents Support her fully, and She’s now able to give back by helping them with their small businesses.

Bendu has faced discouragement and nearly quit after missing Selection for the national team. But her coaches and parents encouraged her to keep going. Her vision is clear: in 5 years, She sees herself playing professionally in a better environment. If She could change one thing for girls in Liberia, it would be building a proper football academy where girls can train and learn the right way. She credits both LFFA and her School for helping her grow on and off the pitch.

Her story is a reminder that Liberia has talented girls who are ready to Succeed if given the chance. Your Support through VAAFD will help Bendu Stay in School, train properly, and move closer to her dream of playing professionally – while inspiring other girls to believe it's possible too.

Thank you for considering investing in Bendu’s future. With your help, we can turn her determination into opportunity.
