Mission and Program Overview

The Liberian Assistance Program provides charitable assistance to low-income Liberians with a focus on supporting schools and providing scholarships for elementary school children up to the college level.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Support for the Barack Obama International Foundation School, Cow Field Community, Paynesville, Liberia. In 2022, the Liberian Assistance Program provided funding for: 1) daily lunches for 200 students and school staff; 2) scholarships (tuition and fees) for 45 children to attend the school; 3) a sewing program for students in grades 7-9 and 10 adults in the community, including paying for a professional tailor to teach classes and maintain the sewing machines; 4) scholarships for the school's teachers to take college classes to expand their knowledge and improve their teaching skills; 5) a month-long summer reading program for Kindergarten to grade 5 students three days a week, including pay for teachers. Also in 2022, LAP provided "bonus" money at the end of each semester to be distributed among the 20+ teachers and staff members to augment their low salaries. LAP also sent the school funds for sports equipment and paid for the school's annual internet fees. Special one-time support: providing menstrual supply "kits" for 100+ girls at the school that were part of a sex education program.$0$35,862
LAP provided scholarship funding (tuition and fees) for: 1) one student in grade school; 2) five students attending various high schools in Monrovia; 3) seven college students, selected through an application process, attending various universities in Monrovia. These students likely would not be able to attend school without assistance. LAP also provides living expenses for some of the college students who need additional assistance.$0$19,737
Support for the rural village of Gbonkonimah, Liberia. Funds were used to: 1) install electrical wiring in the Tubman School, providing the first-ever electricity there, run by a generator, which will expand the hours the school building can be used; 2) install latrines at several locations throughout the village where there were none previously, improving the hygiene of the village; 3) buy a rice mill and generator, and to build a small building to house it. Milling rice more efficiently by machine will help alleviate hunger and also allow rice growers to sell any surplus rice at the market. 4) Having previously assisted the school to create a library room, this year LAP funded the purchase of books to stock the shelves, encouraging the school's K-9 children to read.$0$9,153
