“Establishing lasting peace is the work of education.”

LOEP Projects

LOEP has made a commitment to partner with two orphanages in Liberia and the Red Cross of Liberia.  The commitment to the orphanages is to provide assistance with educational needs for the children who live there.  LOEP sends medical supplies to the Red Cross to be used by that organization for programs that serve mothers and children.

Orphan School

Sponsor a Teacher

LOEP underwrites educational opportunity for Liberian orphans by sponsoring teacher salaries at Children's Relief Ministry (CRM) orphan school.  The CRM orphan school serves not only the children who live at the orphanage but also serves as the neighborhood elementary school for local community children.  Eleven trained, dedicated educators teach more than a hundred students for the shockingly low salary of $35.00 a month.

Cost to sponsor one teacher for a year:                 $ 420

Cost to sponsor one teacher for six months:        $ 210

Cost to sponsor one teacher for one month:         $  35

Student School Supplies

LOEP provides school supplies for children in orphan schools in Liberia.  The school supplies are packaged for individual student use, shipped directly to LOEP volunteers who receive the shipments and then delivered to orphanage administrators for distribution to orphans and other needy students. 

Cost of one School Day Pack:  $3

Last year LOEP sent 2 shipments of school supplies for children at Alfred & Agnes Memorial Mission (AAMOM).  The shipments included School Day Packs for 50 indivdual students and a fully equipped mobile classroom with lesson plans and educational materials.

Teacher/Classroom Supplies

LOEP provides classroom kits and teacher resource kits for teachers in orphan schools.  The kits are shipped directly to the schools and distributed by LOEP volunteers in Liberia to teachers who struggle valiantly with no materials to teach traumatized children who are eager to learn.

Cost to sponsor Teacher/Classroom Kit:            $75

Cost to sponsor complete Mobile Classroom:  $135

 Medical Support for Infants and Children

Discarded-but-useable infant formula and pediatric medical supplies are donated by Warren Memorial Hospital through special arrangement with LOEP.  LOEP collects, stores, packs and ships the formula and supplies to the Red Cross of Liberia and orphanages in Monrovia, Liberia.  Volunteers with the Red Cross and contacts with the U.S. Embassy in Liberia insure that all shipments are distributed as directed by LOEP.  All barrels also include rice, dried beans and other food. This can be a life-saving resource in Liberia where more than 70 % of children under five years old are malnourished or starving. 

Cost to sponsor barrel shipment:  $200
