Support for Communities
The Anthony Ngawor Foundation (ANF) is poised to be a cornerstone of support for the Mamabah Kaba District and the broader Margibi County community through the establishment of the Bayama Academy. This initiative will significantly uplift the community by providing free, high-quality education to underprivileged and special needs children, a demographic often neglected in national educational strategies. By offering a comprehensive Pre K-12 curriculum, the Academy aims to foster academic excellence, personal growth, and ethical development, preparing students for a self-sustaining future.
The school will directly benefit approximately 900 children from vulnerable backgrounds, ensuring they receive the education necessary to break the cycle of poverty. Additionally, the Academy will create employment opportunities for 150 educational and support staff, contributing to local economic stability. By focusing on inclusive education, the school will help reduce dropout rates, especially among children with intellectual disabilities, thus addressing a critical gap in Liberia's educational system.
ANF’s commitment extends beyond education; it encompasses community empowerment and development. The construction and operation of the Academy will invigorate local businesses and suppliers, fostering economic growth. The institution will serve as a community hub, promoting social cohesion and encouraging civic participation through various programs and activities.
Moreover, the project will enhance literacy rates and provide vital life skills training, equipping students to become productive, informed citizens. By integrating environmental and social studies, language, science, arts, and technology into the curriculum, the Academy will cultivate a well-rounded, socially responsible generation poised to drive sustainable development in Liberia.
In summary, the Bayama Academy is not just an educational initiative but a comprehensive community development project that will empower individuals, strengthen families, and transform the Mamabah Kaba District into a beacon of hope and progress.
