Liberia Progress Foundation, Inc

Every effort counts toward the ultimate goal. No matter how small or insignificant the effort appears. The Liberia Progress Foundation was formed by Liberians residing in the United States who realized a need for charitable assistance to Liberia. Our main area of focus is education in rural Liberia. By making education attainable in these areas we can help to decentralize development efforts. We provide educational assistance and humanitarian support through the dedicated efforts of Liberians and friends of Liberia. Through our promotion of cultural diversity in the United States we strive to improve the image of Liberia, by highlighting the rich culture of our country. As we live in the United States or any part of the world, we are ambassadors to Liberia. We have the responsibility to improve this area of the world and help uplift it to its highest potential. As we strive to increase our material support we are aware of the significance of the intangible feeling of hope that is created when people in the rural areas receive assistance and encouragement. As we bring in supplies we bring in hope, diminishing the feeling of despair. We want to see this slow trickle of hope develop into a tsunami effect of confidence and development in the coming generations. We have to start small and build, utilizing the essential build-block of all societies … the education of its children. This is the mandate of the Liberia Progress Foundation.
