Founded in 2007 by Jackson and Victoria Weah, the school itself was completed in August 2007. The first year of classes, grades one-six, began on September 1, 2008 .
A mission team of teachers and maintenance workers visited for three weeks in September 2007 to help put up bulletin boards, and sort and distribute classroom equipment and books. The idea of separating the girls from their male counterparts has proved very successful so far. The girls are freer to express themselves and to focus on education, as well as benefitting from classes in purity, home ec, and computer. The classes are multi-age, due to poor education during the war and to continuing post-war poverty.
This year, the school has approximately 150 students, grades one-seven. Ninety three per cent of the students returned. Most of the students have been victims of secondary trauma and must deal with the stigma of being a women in a poverty-stricken, third world country. There is still very little electiricity (except with generators) and most of Monrovia still does not have sufficient sewer and running water . Unemployment is still almost 80 %. Please pray for the government and for the people. Pray for creativity, honest work ethics and good leadership. Pray for reform and an end to corruption as a way of life. Pray that the warm and wonderful spirit of the Liberian people can again triumph and be a beacon of hope to the rest of the world.
