LOEP is a group of concerned people who have been touched by the compelling plight of
orphans and vulnerable children in Liberia, West Africa. LOEP began in 2002 as a small
humanitarian relief to provide food and shelter for orphans at several institutions in the greater
Monrovia area following the 14-year civil war. The effort grew and became incorporated as a
501(c)3 nonprofit organization in the state of Virginia in 2004. Since that time, we have shipped
books, school supplies, and classroom instructional aids and teaching materials. LOEP instituted
teacher training programs in the greater Monrovia area in early 2009. A LOEP Training Team
returned in January, 2010 at the request of Liberian partner schools. LOEP continues to conduct
annual teacher training workshops and peer training programs utilizing volunteer training teams
who travel to Liberia.
LOEP is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit operation with absolutely no overhead costs and is
registered as a corporation in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
