Giving Honor Where Honor is Due

This GivingTuesday we look forward to introducing you to Grace and Mercy, two of Hope International's dedicated staff members. To jump start GivingTuesday, would you consider honoring your favorite stateside teacher, administrator or school employee in your life with a gift to the staff of Hope International? We will email a personalized note shown below to let the person your honoring know of your generosity.

As is the tradition of Hope, the generosity you share on this national day of giving will be directly distributed to the staff of Hope International this holiday season. These collective gifts go a long way to support the families, extended families, and communities who the staff care for.

Hope International's educators, administrators, and support staff work tirelessly throughout the year to provide education to over 1300 students who would otherwise not likely have the opportunity.

We are grateful for teachers all around the world and for all they give each day of the year. Thank you for honoring the importance of Hope International's 70+ Liberian staff members. 

Thanksgiving Liberian Style

Liberia celebrates a national day of Thanksgiving on the first Thursday in November. Traditionally, churches gather large baskets of fruit that are auctioned off featuring local items like mango and papaya. The highest bidder then takes the baskets home to share with family and friends.

Many of the staff of Hope International gathered on November 2nd in celebration of Thanksgiving to paint the newest building on Hope International’s campus which holds the medical clinic and the school cafeteria.

Thank you staff for showing up each and every day and setting an example of dedication and professionalism for your students.

Hope is Off to a Good Start


School officially opened for the 2023-2024 academic year on September 11th. Our 1,300 students were so excited to be back on campus after a two-month break.

To be honest, there are so many neighboring schools that have not yet opened in Liberia. Most schools have raised their fees this year, making it a deep struggle for families to send their children to school. Hope International has made education possible for many struggling families. Thank you for partnering with us here in Liberia.


With Gratitude,
