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.

Liberty For All

Land of the Free

Liberia, which means “land of the free”, declared independence on July 26, 1847, and became the first republic on the African Continent. A complex and brutal history followed that led to Liberia’s civil war(s). 

Today, we celebrate with our Liberian friends and partners their independence and look forward to a future of liberty for all.  

Science, Technology, and Hope

Here in the States, we hear a lot about STEM learning. In Liberia, science and technology education does not look the same. In order to enhance and strengthen the teaching of science education in Liberian schools, the Ministry of Education in collaboration with Peace Corps Liberia have officially launched, this year, the Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) Approach Strengthening program.

Hope International has grown its science and technology education.

In 2016, with the establishment of the school’s science and computer labs, hands-on learning opportunities were created. Join us in celebrating the evolution of these labs over the last 6 years.

Hope and Science

Through the generosity of many of you, Hope International’s science lab, according to alumni students, is one of the very best high school labs in the country. High school students take coursework in one of the three lab classrooms: biology, chemistry, and physics. Through the generosity of one of our Hope Squared partners, their monthly donation makes it possible to purchase science supplies for these classrooms. 

Hope and Computers

In 4th grade, students begin taking technology courses in Hope International’s computer lab, on computers that were purchased through your generosity. 

These are big opportunities for the students. Maybe it isn’t surprising then that in the Class of 2021, 20% of our seniors wish to pursue further education in computer science or technology.  

We are grateful for all the support along the way and look forward to growing these two school programs as we are able.

Together, we are The Hope Project.
