Help Liberia Foundation Community School is a nursery and primary school. It is located in Korduah Community, Buchanan, a city about 70 miles/113 km from the Liberian capital Monrovia.
We started the school in 2005. The majority of the children come from poor backgrounds, with some of them coming from families that have little or no regular source of income.
Although primary education at government-run schools in Liberia is free, there are not enough schools to cater for everyone and many are severely overcrowded. We do charge fees, but they are lower than the private schools in the area, making us a more affordable alternative for poorer families.
The school is currently in a rented house but this building does not really meet our needs, so we have purchased a piece of land where we are planning to build a school of our own. Once the construction is complete, it will accommodate both elementary and junior high, and we will eventually add senior high school classes so that the children can complete their secondary education with us.
We welcome practical and financial support from people in Liberia and around the world. There is more information on what you can do to assist us on the how you can help page.
