Summary

Help shape the future of Liberia by supporting education for children. After years of war and the Ebola epidemic, the education system needs our help. With only 44% of primary-age students attending school, the future leaders of Liberia are at risk. This project will make a difference by providing scholarships, uniforms, school supplies, school books, nutritious school lunches, school furniture, teacher support, and classrooms to keep kids in school and enhance their education.

Challenge

Liberia's education system has been severely affected by recent crises, resulting in poverty, barren classrooms, inadequate facilities, and insufficient resources. Families cannot afford to send their children to school, while dilapidated facilities and a shortage of desks and chairs make learning difficult. The situation is dire and demands urgent attention, as it has long-term consequences for the country's future.

Solution

This project will make a difference in Liberia by supporting education. We will provide necessary infrastructure and resources such as school furniture, scholarships, books, school supplies, uniforms, building repairs, new classrooms, and teacher salary supplements. This ensures that children can stay in school and learn effectively. By empowering them through education, we can break the cycle of poverty and crime, and open doors to new opportunities for a brighter future.

Long-Term Impact

This project's impact is transformative, providing underprivileged children with life-changing education and opportunities for growth and development. By enhancing the quality of education, we are not only improving the lives of individual students but also transforming communities and the nation as a whole. Investing in education is vital for long-term economic development and stability, and by supporting this project, we are laying the foundation for a brighter future for Liberian families.
