One shirt. One girl. One graduate.

Let's all join together in celebration of Christiana Menyon, who graduated from university this month with her nursing degree.

---

Throughout the years, we have shared Christiana's story as our second One shirt. One girl. scholarship recipient. The proceeds from every shirt, hat, and tote you, our Hope community, purchased covered her tuition expenses and made Christiana's educational dreams possible.

Christiana says, she "plans to use her nursing skills to serve her community and country. She hopes to help orphans, the homeless, and those who are often overlooked and neglected."

Shine bright, Christiana, as you join your peers in leading Liberia into the future. Your Hope community is so proud of you.

Thank you to all of you for your support in helping her get here!

An Ovation for Vocation

Much celebration happened recently, as students from all three of Hope International's vocational programs Sew Much Hope, Cooking Up Hope, and Power of Hope graduated.

These programs create opportunities for students to be employment ready and start small businesses.

One way to support these programs is to purchase tickets for the Quilt of Hope drawing. For each $10 donation, you will be entered for one chance to win. All generosity received goes directly to the sustainability of these vocational certification opportunities.

Congratulations graduates on your big achievement! Thank you to our Hope community for your partnership that makes these programs possible.

Oh, What A Year!

As we enter 17 years as a school and community hub, we are deeply grateful for each and every one of you. You who have made each and every year possible through all the ways you share your generosity and partner in this Community of Hope.

Once again, this collective partnership continues to keep Hope moving forward towards so many good things: nearly 1500 students given an opportunity to receive an education, employment for 70+ Liberian staff members, university scholarships, vocational training (graduates beginning coops and cottage businesses), community support, campus renovations, medical clinic, and sanitation services. 

In this one small neighborhood surrounding one big/little school, Hope continues to show up in surprising ways because of you.

If you gave a monetary gift or in-kind donation in 2024, be on the lookout for your year-end giving receipt that was mailed this week. Have questions regarding your receipt, please contact Andrea at andreabritt@hopeproject.org.  

On behalf of all the students and staff and the community that surrounds Hope International, from our hearts, thank you.
