peace hana school

2022 Enrollment

FOUNDED: 1998

Peace Hana School was approved by the government of Liberia in September 1998. The school began with a vision to equip poor children from ages 3 to 6 years old with reading and writing skills, as well as several extracurricular courses. Peace Hana then expanded in 2002 to also include elementary education.

Due to the Ebola outbreak in 2015, the school had to be shut down for 6 months. Even after the official end of the outbreak declared by the World Health Organization, the school continues to implement hygiene and safety measures so that the children can continue to attend.

In 2022, fifty new chairs and desks and three laptop computers. Some important maintenance work also occurred: repair of roof and toilets, installation of iron gates, painting walls and fences. Every year the Ministry of Education inspects the school facilities. Thanks to the extensive repairs, in 2022 the school was rated as “perfect.”

In 2024 Peace Hana School received $21,000 to enable the school’s continued management, such as paying teachers’ salaries, facility rental and maintenance, equipment updates, sanitary supplies, and off-campus classes. Many of the students attending Peace Hana are too poor to attend other schools, but because of generous donors from USA and elsewhere, they can continue their education.
