Education

One third of all children in Liberia are young children – under the age of 5. Though much has improved in child survival and development in Liberia over the years, many children are still not getting the educational support they need in early life. At Mwasnoh Tuan Foundation, we believe that education “is the key to developing our individual successes.” According to the UNICEF, “it is a struggle to get a good education in Liberia.”
Children’s early years are at the heart of their life chances. They are the ‘make or break’ years when children are either provided with the opportunities to grow and thrive, or they face adversity that negatively affects their bodies, minds, and emotions for life. That’s why it is the foundation’s first priority, especially, educating adolescent boys and girls in “communities challenged with absolute poverty and poor sanitation.”
