Helping Liberians Achieve Success
We believe Liberia’s future rests in the hands of its young people. Through leadership training, we equip the next generation with the skills and confidence to lead with integrity. Our scholarships, including the Dr. Harry F. Moniba Excellence Award, reward academic achievement and open doors to opportunity. In addition, technical and vocational training prepares youth with practical skills to compete in today’s job market, empowering them to shape their future and contribute to national growth.
Liberia’s market women are the backbone of our economy. Through micro-loans, the Moniba Foundation provides women access to financial resources that sustain businesses, feed families, and educate children. By investing in women, we invest in stronger families, thriving communities, and a more equitable Liberia.
True progress begins at the community level. Our clean-up campaigns bring volunteers together each month to create cleaner, safer, and healthier environments for all. Through advocacy and awareness initiatives, we confront issues such as education access, gender equality, domestic violence, and public health. These efforts hold leaders accountable and inspire citizens to take responsibility for building a better Liberia.
Working towards a better Liberia …
where every person has the opportunity, skills, and voice to transform their future.
