Smile Liberia International, Inc. Information

Smile Liberia was formed to provide impoverished children of war-ravished Liberia with access to quality education. Smile Liberia executes its mission by providing primary school children in the poorest parts of Liberia, as well as ex-child soldiers and orphans with much needed educational incentives such as: school supplies, textbooks, school building and renovations, scholarships, playgrounds, uniforms and clothing, etc. Liberia has an illiteracy rate of approximately 80%; about 60% of this number comes from children and youth in the poorest parts of the country. Additionally, 61% of school- age children are out of school due to poverty and the consequences of almost 15 years of war in the country. Help us fight poverty and illiteracy in Liberia by promoting quality education among impoverished children. Support Smile Liberia by volunteering (http://www.smileliberia.org/volunteer) or donating (http://www.smileliberia.org/donate) to this cause.
