Empower the Future: Educate Liberian Children

Dear Project Supporters,

Your support of underprivileged children in Liberia is greatly appreciated.   Beatrice, one of the teachers, said in a video of gratitude to you-

I want to say thanks to them. They are doing good for our children. They are doing extremely well. They are a blessing to our children. They really help our children.   And because of the help that they give to these children, it encouraged the children to come to school. When others see it, they want to be a part of the learning process. There are some children who don’t even have to go to school…their parents cannot afford it. But when they see what these people are doing for us, the children are encouraged. They want to come to school. So I bless God for them…and I pray that God will continue to bless them for what they are doing for our children in Africa.

Teacher: Say thank you B.E.S.T.! 

Children: Thank you B.E.S.T.!!!

Teacher:   Thank you Global Africa (Develop Africa)! 

Children: Thank you Global Africa (Develop Africa)!!!

Teacher:   We love you!

Dear Project Supporters,

Your support of underprivileged children in Liberia is greatly appreciated. The Henry B Bennah Public School is scheduled to reopen in November.  In the community, children can be seen adhering to guidelines mandated by the Liberian government to prevent the spread of the virus, including the use of face coverings, social distancing, and handwashing.

At home – in addition to playing – the children help their parents with chores such as fetching water, cooking, washing dishes, cleaning in and around the house, preparing fish for sale and helping with the sales at the community markets, etc

The staff is excited about welcoming and working with the children when school reopens. In preparation, they are putting in place preventative measures to combat the COVID-19 virus. But in order to effectively execute this and other critical programs help is needed. The staff and children appreciate and thank everyone who is providing school supplies and financially contributing to the school! One staff added, these donors are ‘blessings to the children.’

Our recurring donors truly make a lasting difference. If you haven't had the chance to sign up for a recurring donation yet, we encourage you to consider starting a monthly recurring donation here. Even a few dollars a month make a lasting difference for these students. Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.
