The Love Liberia Project is to support children who have been left without education due to the broken state of the educational system in Liberia after the war. Liberia now has a population of 48% illiteracy rate with most of these being young children. Many lost their parents during the 14 years of civil war. The war damaged the schools, leaving them with no furniture’s or resources needed for education. For example, there are no libraries, no basic learning materials, such as books, computers, pens, no structured learning plans etc.

Presently a great number of children are out of school, left in the street or are living with family members who prefer that the children sell groceries in the market then to go to school. In Liberia, the majority live on less than a Dollar a day, therefore, the mindset is that food is more important than education.

The funds raised for this project would be used to provide educational resources for children, aid training courses for teachers and finally, it will aid the outreach to towns and villages to encourage parents and carer’s to send their children to school.

We want to help rebuild Liberia, therefore, we believe this project is very important because these children are the future of Liberia and that every child in Liberia has the right to an education.
