Board to Introduce Changes in School

Posted on July 12, 2025 | Leave a comment

The Board of Directors of Help Liberia Foundation Community School is planning to introduce major changes in the school, beginning the new school year.

Some members of the Board

The new changes will affect the school’s current name, uniform, fee-payment arrangements and other areas. In short, the school’s current name will be changed to a new name, and the current uniform will be changed to a completely new uniform.

Also, considering current demands and circumstances, the fees charged per student or per class level will be adjusted.

Students of the six grade class

The Board also intends to fix a modern bathroom within the main school building, as the current bathroom being used by the students is in a very terrible condition – it is unsafe and unhygienic.

There will be a special fundraising for that purpose once the final estimate is known. The Board intends to complete the bathroom before the re-opening of school in September.

It is our prayer and hope that the new changes to be introduced and the construction of the inside bathroom will be positively received and will improve things at the school.

The Board of Directors of our school, Help Liberia Foundation Community School, wishes to express profound appreciation to Sissel Lavoll Martinsen and her daughter, Ida Martinsen, for showing kindness to the school.

As you may recall, we sent out an S-O-S call in February for assistance relating to teachers’ salary payment due to financial difficulties facing the school.

In the process, Sissel and her daughter, Ida, two of our Norwegian guests who visited the school last year, made a financial contribution, which was sent to Lena, for the payment of teachers’ salaries.

We are profoundly grateful to Sissel and Ida for thinking about and helping the school. Thank you, Sissel and Ida! We are grateful!

S-O-S Call for Support for Teachers’ Salary Payment

Posted on February 26, 2025 | Leave a comment

Help Liberia Foundation Community School in Buchanan, through its Board of Directors, would like to appeal to all institutions and individuals of good will to kindly come to the aid of the school, as it may be at the verge of collapse due to its inability to pay its teachers well and regularly.

The school needs about US$250 per month to be able to pay its teachers, and the school is incapacitated to raise this amount per month as the school is established to help educate children from poor background.

Already, some teachers are threatening to leave the school if their salary payment is not improved and regularized beginning next month.

We are receiving some assistance for teachers’ salary from some Swedish supporters and friends through Lena Thorne Marner and her husband (Anders Marner), but it is not enough to cover the monthly salary of US$250.

In order to attract qualified teachers and keep them in the school, especially for the sake of the underprivileged children, we wish to appeal to all good-will institutions and individuals to come to our aid.

If you wish to render support to our teachers’ monthly salary payment, you may do so using any of the following three means:

  1. Send your support to Lena and Anders Marner in Sweden, through PayPal at https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=95NTAM63YT8WE

  2. Send your support directly to the school’s bank account, using the following information:
    Account title: Help Liberia Foundation Community School
    Account number: 6100271382
    Bank name: Ecobank Liberia Ltd
    Swift Code: ECOCLRLM
    Address: 11th Street, Sinkor, Monrovia, Liberia

  3. Send your support using MTN Money Transfer directly to +231881895978.

Please support our teachers so that the school can continue to help poor children in Liberia.
