Welcome
Help support the 2011 proposed project to build a new
COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTER!
Designed to improve education in Gbarnga, Bong County, Liberia., the new facility will offer opportunities for increased literacy, adult and early childhood education and provide support for programs that empower the local community. The project is a collaborative effort by U.S. Liberian, and international non-profit organizations with the local Liberian government.
As a result of 14 years of civil war, the young adults in Liberia have been denied the basic right of education. Most citizens aged 17 to 35 are illiterate, unemployed, and unskilled. Literacy, education and basic skill training provide the best tools to help these young adults recover from the conflict of their youth and gain opportunities for the future. The Non-formal Basic Literacy program is a new Liberian Ministry of Education program intended to reduce the prevalence of illiteracy among young adults. The COMMUNITY LERARNING CENTER will include classrooms and administration space to support this program and will provide the continued education and training needed for young adults to improve their lives and their community.
Hope For Children of Africa (HCA) supports sustainable projects in partnership
with African villages to create empowering and educational opportunities for their communities.
We are working at the local level to inspire a new determination
for progress through self-reliance.
