The Educational Journey of Ebola Orphans in Bong County

By Abigail S. Teah | Media and Communication Officer

The return to school for Ebola orphans in Bong County, Liberia, marks a significant milestone in their lives, offering them a chance to rebuild and reintegrate into society. The Ebola outbreak, which devastated many communities in West Africa, left thousands of children without parents and disrupted their education. As schools reopen, these orphans face unique challenges, including emotional trauma and financial instability, but the opportunity to return to the classroom provides hope for a brighter future.

The VAAFD family, who had been the benefactor for those kids since the death of their parents, are working together to foster a sense of belonging and security, helping these children to overcome their past traumas while encouraging them to engage in their studies. Educational initiatives have been established to support these children, focusing on not only academic learning but also emotional and psychological healing.

Your donation allows us to excel. Thank you for being a vital part of their journey towards a brighter future and we wish to hear from other donors to please join our force. We need you to help us move forward with this project, without your support we are unable to continue.

The impact of returning to school extends beyond education; it is a step towards normalcy and resilience for the children affected by the Ebola crisis. As they gather with peers, participate in extracurricular activities, and form new friendships, these orphans are not only gaining knowledge but also rebuilding their identities.

Ultimately, the back-to-school journey for Ebola orphans in Bong County symbolizes hope, healing, and the possibility of a better future. Thanks to the GlobalGiving team and your awesome donors for their support.
