2.2 Extend scholarship program to one school in Tallah Community

Parents faced many challenges and hardships in rural Liberia to support children's education in rural communities. As a result, learning Squared Liberia was able to extend its scholarship program to the Anthony Tubman Public School in Tallah Community, Grand Cape Mount County. A full academic year scholarship, including learning materials and tuition, was provided for twenty -28 students between 1st-6grades. Local authorities applauded the support and commitment to help monitor school attendance and children's progress as part of their support to the Project. 

2.3 Organized community stakeholders meetings 

Learning Squared Liberia facilitated two separate community stakeholder meetings in Bomi and Grand Cape counties. These meetings brought together over 40 participants, including parents, teachers, community leaders, counties, and district education officers. The aim of the community town hall meeting was to discuss the progress made by students during the just-ended school year and also share with parents and teachers information about the scholarship program for the academic year 2021-2022.  At the meetings, parents were encouraged to prepare themselves for the coming school year. The program team also discussed and provided information about the social microfinance program that supports women to generate income to help support their children's education.

2.4 Recommendation and Conclusion 

Thanks and appreciation to our supporters, donors, GlobalGiving, Local communities, and schools for the level of commitment shown towards the successful implementation of the Project.
