Beyond the School Fence

Hello Friends of The Hope Project,

We have such beautiful news to share. The Hope Project has received an amazing gift from Sally and Jim Olson, in honor of the scientists in the Olson Lab. This designated gift will be used to begin a sanitation program for the neighborhood of Hope International. 

Since the devastating civil war in Liberia, basic infrastructure has been lacking. This video shows the real-time impact for communities in Liberia. With the lack of sanitation services, garbage (including many toxic plastics) is burned outside by households, releasing known carcinogens into the environment and air surrounding the school. 

The Hope Project team is creating a plan, led by local Liberian environmentalist and sanitation specialist, Gabriel Nyarko. We look forward to sharing with you more about the plan and impact as we move forward.

Thank you to Sally and Jim Olson for honoring the staff of Olson Lab with this gift and for your work, generosity, and vision that makes the seemingly impossible, possible.

Together, we are The Hope Project.
