Through the financial support provided by SHF, our partner ESARDEF supported 20 vulnerable students attending Government Technical High School Bakingili and Government High School Bokova, enabling them to continue their education and easing the financial burden on their families. Most beneficiaries are enrolled in technical and vocational program at GTHS Bakingili, namely Human Resource, Electrical Engineering , Building and Construction and Accounting. All 20 students were promoted, three were first in class and three more were second.
Water scheme in Liberian School
We have funded a water project in the St. Monica Catholic School in Bopolu, Gbarpolu County, Liberia. According to Father Paul Folleh:
“This project is a great blessing to the whole community that had relied on either rain water or a nearby creek for drinking, washing and drinking.”
