Before Our Very Eyes

Vera

If you have been with The Hope Project over the years, you have met Vera. We have watched her grow up right before our eyes. She is the student who was featured in our Hope Project video here. We followed her through her day as she graciously gave us a window into her world.

Vera lives right outside the school fence and shares her home with her extended family.

We wanted to provide you with an update on Vera. She still lives just outside of the school gate and is now 15 years old and will be entering grade 6. She loves school and takes on challenging coursework and participates in school sporting activities. She dreams of becoming a lawyer.

It’s for Vera and her fellow students that we exist, a partnership that educates and prepares Liberia’s youth to lead their families and country into a future of Hope.

Together, we are The Hope Project.

Power of Hope is Surging

Friends of Hope,

Our third, on-site vocational program, Power of Hope, is surging. We set a goal of 100 students and currently the program is running 4 sections daily for over 125 students!

Classes began in April 2022 and courses last 18 months. Upon graduation, students will be qualified as Electrical Technicians. Once again, we extend our deep gratitude to Project Redwood of Tides Foundation for making this program possible, along with our other two, on-site vocational programs, Sew Much Hope and Cooking Up Hope.  You can learn more about them here.

Powerful Together! 

They are Providing Care and Comfort

Devine is 1 of 1,200 students at Hope International.
She has a story, dreams, and hopes for the future.

Devine

Devine Brahman, age 9, has just completed her 2nd grade year at Hope International. Her mother sells juice, and her father is a coach. Devine dreams of becoming a nurse.

Many of our current students and graduates dream of becoming nurses in Liberia. In fact, 5 of our 12 scholarship recipients currently enrolled in university are majoring in nursing.

The educational opportunities that The Hope Project provides through your generosity impacts not only individual students like Devine, but their families, their communities, and the future of Liberia. It will be these students who will together create Liberia’s future.

Thank you for supporting students like Devine, from elementary through university.

As we continue our collective move forward through the pandemic, witness war and domestic upheaval, this work can feel small. The love and generosity you share in your families and communities and the shared table of Hope with our Liberian friends, these are the gifts that serve as the antidote to these big challenges our world faces.

Together is Always Best.
