Welcome to Liberia Education Project
Mission Statement
Education as the key to unlock the potentials of our young people is greatly in short supply in Liberia, especially for those disadvantaged young boys and girls in the Towns and Villages of rural Liberia who have no hope of ever stepping foot into a classroom. Therefore, as Christians we organize ourselves to establish and provide quality and affordable education to needy children and adults in Liberia.
OUR GOALS
We will seek to work in partnership with other individuals and organizations to provide the life changing KEY (Education) to the needy and forgotten children in the villages and street corners of Liberia. The Liberia Education Project will seek support and funding to accomplish the following goals:
- School construction and renovation
- Providing educational materials/supplies to needy schools and students
- Seek funding for scholarship opportunities for deserving students and teachers
- Conducting adult literacy programs
- Conducting teacher training programs
- Community health education
- Conducting vocational training
- Providing safe drinking water for schools and communities/villages
The Vocational Training will include the following as possible:
- Agriculture
- Building trades
- Information Technology
- Home Economics
- The Arts
- Small business management
Currently we are working with residents of a village in Bong County to start a school in a present church building. We have provided some materials for the renovations to this facility. In the future we plan to assist the residents to construct a 10 room school building to serve the education needs of several villages in Kokoyah District, Bong County.
During the past year we gathered school supplies and shipped them to Liberia with the help of several churches and schools here in the USA. Students of three selected schools in three different counties were beneficiaries of these supplies. |
