Why we are needed

Why we are needed

Education is the great engine of personal development It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mine worker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.” Nelson Mandela

Challenges in Liberia

Liberia grapples with a substantial infrastructure deficit, particularly pronounced in its remote rural enclaves. Within these increasingly isolated communities, an urgent and substantial demand arises for an encompassing initiative focused on constructing classrooms and providing teacher training.

Many of the current structures we have encountered are trapped in a dire state of disrepair. These classroom buildings not only become uninhabitable during the rainy season, but they also teeter perilously on the brink of collapse, posing imminent threats to the safety of those within.

Hence, the call to action resounds loudly. It beckons us to unite in addressing these fundamental challenges that obstruct progress and deny opportunities. By erecting functional classrooms, imparting essential teacher training, we have the capacity to pave the way for a brighter future, where education flourishes, communities thrive, and safety remains uncompromised.

Healthy and Motivated Students

Children in our school were reported as being healthier and better motivated.  Academic results were noted across the board as having improved significantly. There is less absenteeism and punctuality is much better. 

Empowering girls

A growing number of girls are enrolling in schools and continuing their education journey through Mantee and David. The trend of girls leaving school prematurely for early marriages is diminishing, thanks to this positive shift. The introduction of enhanced new school building facilities will played a crucial role in enabling girls to remain in school even after reaching puberty.

The active involvement of girls in our initiatives, coupled with the dedicated support they receive, has brought about notable enhancements within both educational institutions and households.
