Potential Should Never Be Limited by Circumstance
Our children are smart, resilient, and determined.
It takes that kind of strength to grow, dream, and pursue an education amid the lasting effects of Liberia’s civil war. Yet for many promising students, financial hardship can bring that journey to an unexpected end.
Scholarship opportunities help deserving students stay in school, pursue their dreams, and turn academic promise into a future filled with possibility.
Education is the most powerful tool we can give a child to break the cycle of poverty and build a resilient future.
In Liberia, nearly 30% of school-aged children—almost 500,000 young minds—are not sitting in a classroom today.
For these children, the barrier isn’t a lack of ambition—it’s the crushing cost of basic school fees, uniforms, shoes, and learning materials. Without support, only 62% will finish primary school, and less than half will complete lower secondary education.
Why Your Contribution Matters Today
-
Eliminate Overage & Delayed Entry: Economic constraints force many Liberian children to delay starting school until age 8 or 10. Early scholarships ensure children enter school at the right age, dramatically reducing dropout rates.
-
Bridge the Gender Gap: Adolescent girls face the highest risk of dropping out during secondary school. Targeted scholarships keep girls in class, protecting their health, independence, and future earnings.
-
Build Liberia’s Future: Every additional year a child spends in school increases their adult earning potential by up to 10% and strengthens community resilience.
