Liberia suffered 14-years of civil war, devastating the educational system and other critical services. As a result, over 1/3 of Liberian children are not enrolled in school. Across West Africa, 80 percent of 10-year-olds cannot read and understand a simple text by the end of primary school. Many families are forced to choose between education, food & healthcare. Education is essential for breaking the cycle of poverty yet the cost of tuition, uniforms, and supplies is too burdensome.
