What We Do
Four programs, one mission: education, workforce development, civic education, and economic opportunity across Liberia.
Education — Global Education Pathways
Global Education Pathways is our soon-to-launch scholarship and opportunity program for Liberian students. It's an open application — no nominations required, no fees ever — built to create a real profile of each student's academic record, goals, and circumstances so we can match them with real funding and university opportunities at home and abroad.
Workforce Development — DEVT & the Diaspora Bridge
DEVT is a vocational and technical training institution in Monrovia, founded by Mohammed Foboi. Liberia Forward is a strategic partner and supporter, bringing Starlink connectivity to campus, coordinating donated equipment, and providing financial support. We're extending that partnership by connecting Liberians and U.S. institutions to deliver online trainings, lectures, and hands-on projects, bridging the diaspora/Liberia gap so knowledge and resources gained abroad build sustainable workforce development at home.
Civic Education
Liberia Forward believes citizens participate more effectively in national development when they understand how government, public institutions, elections, and public finance actually work. Lion of the Law is our animated civic education platform, powered by Liberia Forward and built to stand on its own. Through storytelling, humor, and West African wisdom, Blama Doe and Kana Doe investigate how Liberia's public systems work, closing each episode with "The Lion's Lesson." Nonpartisan and fact-based, built for schools, embassies, and civic partners ready to bring it to their communities.
Economic Opportunity
Economic Opportunity is where education and civic capacity turn into real income. At Korto Town in Montserrado County, we built a 64-acre agricultural project, with roughly 40 acres cultivated, proving out organized cassava farming, on-site garri processing, and paid local jobs. In Cape Mount County, we partner with local farmers in Bah Foboi to run a cassava co-op and processing site, uniting solo farmers and giving them on-site garri processing so they get more value from every harvest using locally sourced resources. It's a community-centered model, with local farmers taking on more leadership as it grows.
