Success Stories

Friends of the Unstoppable Foundation (individual donors and their teams) have built 2 schools in Liberia!

Becky Primary School:
Serving 600 students in the Kakata community in Margibi County, this is the largest school project generated by Youth Action International.

Originally co-funded by British Music Sensation M.I.A. in 2006, the school provided education to the Kakata that was previously inaccessible. Becky Primary School was also one of the first to implement the Mother Goose Time curriculum for pre-school aged children, starting local children on Kakata on the path to education at a very young age. However, without continued support the Becky Primary school cannot stay open to all the youth in the community.

Cynthia Kersey, her foundation and its generous friends, have provided the necessary resources to allow the children of Kakata continue their education. Along the basic necessities of books, pens and paper, the students will also receive a new library, a computer center and a fully equipped playground. The additions to the school will be completed this summer, in time for the new school year.

Elwou Orphanage and School:
The Elwuo Orphanage takes care and educates 95 orphans in Monrovia, Liberia. Here the orphans have deplorable living conditions. There is no glass on their windows, their hole-ridden roof is in danger of collapse, and damaged pipes obstruct their only means of safe drinking water. In their school, which consists of one room, one bench, and one chalk board, the students must grapple for limited resources.

Although they have six dedicated teachers, these teachers work for the meager salary of only $48 annually, and do not have the necessary supplies to serve their overcrowded classrooms.

With the help of HUB Faculty Leader, Cynthia Kersey, friends of the Unstoppable foundation and Youth in Action these orphans—and other students in the surrounding city— will soon gain access to better facilities, more nutritional food, clean drinking water and a fully funded school with adequate resources to support both the students and the teachers. They’ve broken ground on the new school and construction is in progress. The donations made to the Elwuo Orphanage give the children more than just a solid roof and windows, they give the children hope.

You can bring hope to a child in need. Give hope now.
