Message From Our Founder

2023 marked the 176th independence anniversary of our ancestral homeland, Liberia. Despite its colossal mineral and natural resource endowments, its socioeconomic development is not in tandem with its age.

The United Nations and other organizations that track economic development around the globe continue to characterize Liberia as one of the least developed countries as manifested by very high illiteracy rates, high infant mortality, food insecurity, low levels of manufacturing and industrialization, poor infrastructure, low life expectancy that is triggered by an abysmal healthcare delivery system as well as unemployment and underemployment rates that are astronomical.
