Educate West Point - EWP Liberia

Educate West Point (EWP) is giving the children of Liberia's largest slum a chance at a brighter future through the power of education.

Educate West Point (EWP) came into being as a direct result of the passion of one individual - EWP Founder Musa Sheriff. Growing up in West Point, Liberia's largest slum located on the seaside in Monrovia, Musa came to know the challenges all to well as to why 21,000 vulnerable children in the slum remain out of school today. His contagious will to do something about it is what led to the start of

EWP - a Liberian and US sister non-profit focused on improving education opportunities for the children of West Point - a reality. Recovering from two recent civil wars and the Ebola outbreak that wreaked havoc over the country - particularly the West Point slum - EWP will be partnering with the government to strengthen the government education system available to West Point children in the following ways:

1) Provide psychosocial and financial support to the most vulnerable out of school children in the community so they have the means they need to attend school. EWP sponsorship covers two school uniforms, shoes, book bag, school supplies, health care assistance, counseling and food.

2) Support government in strengthening the single government school in West Point for all 75,000 residents - including assistance with infrastructure needs, school supplies, extracurricular programs and teacher training.

3) Over the coming years, work with the government to identify solutions required to address the lack of space in government schools. We hope you will join us in these efforts.

We are deeply grateful to Madam Cooper and her staff for investing in our students and proving just how much of a difference community support makes in a child’s education.

Yesterday, we had the genuine pleasure of welcoming back Cate, a valued sponsor and USA Board member, to our Early Childhood Development Center in West Point. During her visit, she met with our administration and staff to brainstorm ways to enhance our learning environment, and she visited our various learning centers including our library and computer lab, which we are working to fully revamp and improve. She also walked down to the shoreline with our team to witness firsthand how severe coastal erosion is impacting our local families and community, gaining a deeper understanding of the daily challenges our students face outside the classroom.

We are immensely grateful for Cate’s unwavering dedication to our mission. Beyond reaffirming her commitment to strengthening our technology, sponsorship, and school feeding programs, she brought along a thoughtful personal letter for Dweh, the student she sponsors, in response to one he wrote her a few months ago. Her hands-on engagement and warm heart serve as a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish together through compassion, strong partnerships, and a shared vision for our children’s futures.

On July 31, we held our 7th Closing & Kindergarten Graduation Ceremony, and we couldn’t be prouder of our Kindergarten Level II Class of 2025/2026. Our guest speaker, Amb. Mabongor J. Kamara, gave a moving speech on the importance of believing in young people, encouraging our students to aim high and reminding parents of the impact their support has every single day.

A major moment of the ceremony came when Ambassador Kamara presented special gifts and awarded full one-year scholarships to three of our top students: Emmanuel Wilson, Daniel Varney, and Daxetta Elliot. Thank you to our teachers, parents, and community members who showed up to support these kids and make the day so special. We’re excited to see what these students do next!

Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate Mohammed, who has officially been promoted to Grade 12 after achieving an outstanding 91% average this academic year!

When we first met Mohammed nine years ago in 2017, he stood between our co-founder, Mitch, and his father as we recruited our very first group of out-of-school children in West Point Township. At the time, Mohammed had been out of school and had little hope of ever returning to a classroom. We made a promise to walk alongside him throughout his educational journey, and today, seeing him grow from that young boy standing at the whiteboard into the confident young man proudly wearing his Grade 12 uniform is a moment that means the world to us.

Although Mitch did not live to witness this milestone, looking back at these photos reminds us just how far Mohammed has come and keeps Mitch’s legacy alive through every life that continues to be transformed.

This achievement would not have been possible without Mohammed’s incredible sponsor, Lots, our co-founder Katie, and all of our dedicated sponsors whose generosity gives children like Mohammed the opportunity to receive the education they deserve.

Congratulations, Mohammed! We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see all that your future holds.

Today, we are so proud to celebrate Prosper, who officially completed his high school education this academic year!

When we first met Prosper nine years ago (that’s him in the little Texas shirt), he was completely out of school with almost no hope of ever stepping back into a classroom. We made a promise to stand by him through his journey, and today, we’ve officially crossed that finish line together. Seeing him transform from that young boy with an uncertain future into the confident, sharp young man standing proudly in his Grade 12 uniform means everything to us.

We couldn’t have done any of this without his incredible sponsor, Ms. Linda Johnson in America. We owe so much of this accomplishment to her, our founders, and all of our dedicated sponsors who give these children the opportunity to get the education they deserve.

Here’s to Prosper and the bright future ahead of him!
