A new way forward after Ebola

By Emily Bell | Project Leader

Dear MTM Family,

School is open and the girls are so excited to be back in school. We are cautiously celebrating news of the release of Liberia's last Ebola patient, and remain focused on supporting the survivors of this horrible epidemic. What happened during Ebola was unacceptable. Now more than ever, we must do more to ensure that girls like Tonia (pictured above) graduate with real opportunities. On top of running the More Than Me Academy and supporting Ebola survivors, we are researching how to make the biggest impact possible in Liberia by rebuilding its education system.

As we prepare to leapfrog our girls forward, we've decided to deactivate this project. Your donations have helped us expand our programs to 150 girls, and to provide all of them with two hearty meals a day, access to healthcare, access to a computer lab and library, and a robust afterschool program, ensuring the girls are off the street for the entire day from 7am to 5pm. We couldn't have done this without you.

You can still fund our ongoing education programs by giving directly through our website here or on GlobalGiving through our More Than Me Girls Academy project. 

Thank you for believing in a brighter future for Liberia. 

We're in this together,

Emily and the More Than Me team
