Kerkula Foundation Celebrates Two Years of Impact in Underprivileged Communities

Monrovia, Liberia – The Kerkula Foundation, a community-based non-profit dedicated to empowering children and young people in underprivileged communities, is celebrating its second anniversary today, marking two years of service, growth, and hope.

Founded on August 25, 2023, the Kerkula Foundation began with a simple back-to-school initiative that provided copybooks and pencils to 16 children in Paynesville. From this humble start, the organization has grown into a recognized force for youth empowerment, education, and community development.

Over the past two years, the Kerkula Foundation has:

📍Awarded 30+ scholarships to children from Crozierville Township and Bensonville City.

📍Donated school supplies to over 150 children, including copybooks, pencils, uniforms, and shoes.

📍Launched a Home Study Program in Kollieman’s Town, Bensonville.

📍Organized a road brushing campaign along the Fendell–Bensonville road.

📍Trained 20+ women and girls in soap-making, tie-dye, and household product production.

📍Distributed backpacks to 25+ students with support from Sunrise Forever Inc.

📍Hosted a Christmas party for 200 children in Crozierville.

📍Organized leadership and empowerment programs that reached over 200 young people and students across Montserrado and Bomi Counties.

And many others intiatives.

Speaking on the milestone,
Matthew D. Kerkula, Founder of the Kerkula Foundation, expressed gratitude:

> “Two years ago, this was just a dream. Today, it has become a movement of hope and change. We are grateful to God, our team, and everyone who has supported us along the way. This is just the beginning—our best years are still ahead.”

Kerkula Foundation Founder and Executive Director meets Mr. Alie Conteh in Freetown Sierra Leone; secures future partnerships.

While visiting the Republic of Sierra Leone, the Executive Director Matthew D Kerkula had the honor of meeting with Mr. Alie Conteh, National Coordinator of the Orphan Empowerment Society in Sierra Leone.

Their discussions focused on the pressing challenges facing young people across Liberia and Sierra Leone from illicit drug abuse and unemployment to the lack of opportunities in underprivileged communities. Together, they shared ideas and committed to building a strong network of leaders dedicated to tackling these issues.

It was truly an inspiring exchange, and we believe this marks the beginning of a collaborative journey to ensure that the youth of both nations are empowered to thrive and lead change in their communities.

At the Kerkula Foundation, we remain committed to partnerships that drive impact and build a brighter future where no young person is left behind.
