Friends of Liberia
Friends of Liberia seeks to positively affect Liberia and Liberians through education, social and humanitarian programs and through advocacy efforts. FOL is dedicated to helping rebuild national institutions, educate children and improve the quality of life for all Liberians.
FOL helps fund a listserve which provides current international news and articles about Liberia.
Grants and projects are small scale and focused on Liberian non-profits.
Most are community based in the areas of:
- agriculture (eg. rice mill, pig coop)
- education (training for elementary classroom teachers, training for librarians, books)
- environment (wildlife reserve survey)
- health (nurses training, in-service for midwives)
- mediation training for work with former combatants
- transportation (bikes and repair training)
