LEEF Projects
Our Projects in Liberia
School project
LEEF school is located in Lee Hill Community, Upper Johnsonville Township. Johnsonville is an ideal location for this project because it is a deprived community and developments do not come to these remote areas in Liberia. With the growing demand for educational and employment opportunities, our proposed model will accentuate technical and vocational education and training as a response to these problems.
The primary goal is to build and maintain a school complex for boys and girls in Johnsonville, respectively. The school project consists of primary and secondary education. Primary school (nursery and primary school) offers primary education to children from 3 to 12 years old. The outflow of children from primary education goes to secondary education. Secondary education consists of children from 12 - 18 years old. Pupils from primary school can diverge in secondary school and make the choice between academic, vocational, or technical education based on their needs and requirements.
LEEF intends to help change this situation and will work with other schools to improve the conditions for children who are attending schools in nearby communities. By improving the education in Johnsonville, we hope through our intervention to expand the capacity of the country to maximize the utilization of its resources without relying on much external expertise.
Books & Educational drive
LEEF collects books and educational materials for schools and organizations in Liberia. We kindly accept books and educational materials in English. We collect student's textbooks in all subjects (Science, Math, English, Geography, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, etc.) and teachers guide. We also collect novels (fiction and non-fiction) for all ages, encyclopaedias, dictionaries, atlas, posters, and laboratory equipment (microscope, scientific models).
For recreational activities, we collect audio-visuals, educational games, puzzles, music equipment, audiobooks on CD, magazines, etc. For the computer library, we accept computers and software. We do not accept damaged or partial books and educational materials.
Our book and educational project also seek to provide reading literacy for the school going children, residents, and environs of the Johnsonville community. For this reason, our central library of the school will be open to the public.
Adult Literacy and Life Skill Training
We use our educational facilities to offer adult literacy and life skills training in vocational and technical education. Our adult literacy and life skills courses feature a variety of modules delivered throughout the academic semester. Trainees will receive a certificate upon completing each trajectory. We will collaborate with local experts in Liberia and partner with international professionals to provide trainees with start-up strategies for employment opportunities.
We welcome individuals aged 18 and above who have not had access to, or have dropped out of, the formal education system. All training sessions take place during evening classes.
Health Projects
LEEF work is also centred around the sustainable development goal 3. LEEF work to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages within the communities. In times of health emergency, LEEF will take initiatives to provide humanitarian and disaster relief aid. Our recent emergency relief effort is the COVID-19 emergency response package to John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital. The package consists of personal protection equipment (PPE) to assist in the fight against the deadly coronavirus.
