HELLO's mission is to encourage, educate and equip Liberia's children and youth. Founded May 2003 HELLO's goals are to encourage, educate, and equip children and their loved ones who are responsible for them. In response to the devastating Ebola crisis in West Africa that killed over 11,300 people to date, HELLO has developed 3 ways to bring encouragement, hope and joy to children and youth in Liberia. PLAYGROUND
In August 2015, HELLO built a playground in rural Liberia in an effort to bring hope and restore healthy play in children. This playground is benefiting Ebola orphans and hundreds of children living in this area, and surrounding villages. To keep the children and materials safe, the HELLO playground land still needs fencing, ground maintenance and security guards. During our recent visit to Liberia, the parents around the playground requested that HELLO provide a day care center on the playground site. This will provide a safe and educational experience for Liberia's little ones. If built, the day care center will provide jobs and ensure that these children will get at least one full meal each day. EDUCATION
HELLO believes that education is the bedrock of every society. To address poverty and given the 85% illiteracy rate in Liberia, HELLO has provided over 40,000 textbooks to primary and secondary schools as well as colleges. Another shipment is being prepared. Funds are needed for shipping, clearing, transportation, and distribution. It will be shipped to Liberia as soon as these funds are available. Your financial support to HELLO will help us in meeting the needs of impoverished children and restore their hope for the future in Liberia after Ebola.
