Support for the Youth of Liberia: Schools of Africa Project

WFWP USA has been a proud supporter of the Schools of Africa Project for over 20 years, with the help of generous donor contributions. The project currently provides quality education for students in eight African nations, including Liberia. 

The Peace Hana School, established in Liberia in 1998, 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. Currently there are 98 students in the school. In 2022, Peace Hana School received a $16,500 grant from WFWP USA and the funds have been used to pay for much-needed improvements to the school and various expenses. We would like to share with you a letter of appreciation and pictures from the school, and extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who offered donations and made this possible.

Below is an excerpt from a letter from Peace Hana School written by Ayumi Hasegawa, WFWP Project Director in Liberia. 

“With last year’s support we purchased generators, fans, tanks for washing hands, and printers…

Also with this support, we were able to purchase three laptop computers, and we were able to focus on the computer class. Four blackboards, a new toilet, a new gate door, repairing part of the fence and roof, and we were able to pay the school rent until the end of 2023. The rest went to the teacher's salaries and the children’s extracurricular activities…

The warm support of WFWP USA has supported the education of children from poor families in Africa. We really appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts.”
