Description:
We just launched a fundraising campaign and can use all the help we can get as this is a very new phase for YesLiberia. Our goal through these campaigns is: To raise funds for the underprivileged in Liberia (a country located in Africa that was colonized by Americans with a dream but has unfortunately been gravely affected by back to back civil wars).
These funds will help YesLiberia continue to provide: Scholarships and other programs such as: tuition assistance, basic health education and services, water wells, public toilets, provide senior citizens’ food vouchers, a sponsored community soccer team and currently projected to build a public library facility.

Description
Conviction created YesLiberia. Daily the needs of underprivileged are ignored. We ignore their struggles because it’s easier to deal with the more important things in our lives-- like climbing the corporate ladder and saving money so we don’t become indigent. And some of us ignore their challenges because they bring back unpleasant memories we seek to repress. But disregarding the plight of the underprivileged yields no resolution. Then certain things happen to remind us their struggles exist no matter how hard we try to pretend our needs surpass theirs.
Jallah was convicted by several of those things over a short period of time. The prostitution of children in Thailand reminded him of Liberia. The rape and war in Congo reminded him of Liberia. The genocide in Rwanda reminded him of Liberia. He remembered his underprivileged past--a past where he was seen as less than elite based on his tribal and economic status and where his education came as a gift from the United Methodist Church.
Reminded, he became convicted to act and YesLiberia was founded to educate and help underprivileged Liberians whose plight he intimately understood.
YesLiberia is a 501c3 charity organization recognized by the Internal Revenue Service since July 2009. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowable by law. YesLiberia is also registered at four government agencies in Liberia.
