Providing Education over challenges at summer camp

Lorpu's story is a testament to the struggles that many families in Liberia endure. As a single mother, she has been responsible for providing for her children without the necessary resources. Lorpu's oldest son was just 14 years old when their father passed away, leaving her to shoulder the burden alone. The lack of financial means prevented her from sending her children to school, and they faced days without food and inadequate access to healthcare. The constant struggle for survival took a toll on Lorpu, and she reached a point of desperation.

It was through the intervention of Camp for Peace Liberia that Lorpu's life took a hopeful turn. During the period under review, Lorpu was provided with training in sewing and weaving, which opened up new opportunities for her and her family. Lorpu expressed her gratitude for the support she received, and she now looks forward to establishing her own weaving business after completing her training.

At Camp for Peace Liberia, we are driven by an unwavering passion for this work. We believe that every individual, regardless of their circumstances, deserves a chance to thrive and reach their full potential. We are committed to breaking the cycle of poverty and creating lasting change in the lives of the youth and women in Liberia.

Our dedication to this cause is deeply personal. Many of us at Camp for Peace Liberia have witnessed the hardships faced by our own mothers. They, too, were victims of similar challenges and struggles. It is through this intimate understanding and connection that we are motivated to make a difference.

Furthermore, we have experienced firsthand the impact of incarceration of youths and the difficulties it presents. We understand the obstacles faced by those seeking to rebuild their lives and reintegrate into society. It is this shared experience that fuels our commitment to providing opportunities and support to those who have faced similar hardships.
During the period under review we committed to breaking the cycle of poverty and creating lasting change in the lives of 80 young men and women in Liberia through weaving, sewing and agricuture activites.

During the period under review, we received several commendations for our work. One particularly impactful endorsement comes from Ann, who expressed, "Contributing to a cause that transforms vulnerable lives is a source of immense joy. Witnessing the hope and happiness we bring to our society is truly invaluable."

The period under review has been marked by our dedication to catalyzing positive change, creating a brighter future for Liberia—one empowered individual at a time.
