Support Sustainable Funding for Education in Liberia

Liberia continues to face the long-term effects of civil conflict, which left its education system deeply underdeveloped. Many young people—especially girls—lack access to schools that offer the skills necessary for employment or entrepreneurship. This gap has contributed to one of the highest youth unemployment rates in West Africa.

Bridging the Gap in Education was founded to respond to this urgent challenge. By building vocational high schools and offering practical, career-aligned training, we directly support youth empowerment in Liberia and provide an alternative to systemic poverty.
