BUILDING OPPORTUNITY IN BORLORLA: SUSTAINABLE SOAP-MAKING FOR SCHOOL SUPPORT
Following a recent community meeting in Borlorla Town, attended by citizens from surrounding areas who benefit from the Teacher Jeanette No Child Left Behind program, a significant step was taken to support the local school.
As part of our empowerment strategy, the Liberia Literary Society made a startup empowerment grant of US$100 to the people of the Community. This seed support is intended to launch a local iron soap production and sales initiative, a sustainable project that will serve as a source of income for the community's effort towards the school.
The goal is simple yet powerful: to use the proceeds from this venture to provide ongoing support to the school in Borlorla. Over time, we hope the growing profits and future reinvestments will not only benefit the school but also extend economic support to parents and residents of the town.
This is more than just soap making. It is community led development in action.
As an institution, the Liberia Literary Society remains fully committed to ensuring that all children living in orphanages and rural communities with no access to school can meet the basic needs of quality primary education. Our work in Borlorla reflects that mission in motion.
We encourage donors, partners, and institutions who share our vision to join us in supporting this initiative. Together, we can strengthen community livelihoods and expand access to education for children who need it most.
