FFW and Learning Upgrade Announce a New Partnership in Liberia!

10/3/2022

From Learning Upgrade:
 
“We are thrilled to announce Learning Upgrade’s partnership with Foundation for Women in Liberia. Over the past 3 months, we have orchestrated an 8-site, 200+ person deployment in Liberia where children and adults have been using the Learning Upgrade app to learn English, math, and job skills for self-reliance. The 8 sites range from elementary schools, church communities, to microfinance groups and community health clinics.
 
The results have been striking: nearly 1,000 hours of learning, over 5,000 lessons completed, and 70 certificates earned (each certificate is equivalent to 1 school year of learning)!!
 
To celebrate the success of the program, Foundation for Women staff in Liberia wrote and produced this song, which debuted today at Proliteracy’s 2022 Conference on Adult Education in San Antonio, TX.

The people of Liberia have suffered through civil war and disease which has prevented so many from receiving a quality education. Now, with an opportunity to rapidly learn anywhere and at any time, we are seeing a renewed sense of hope and a path towards the end goal: to provide every Liberian an opportunity to reach full proficiency in English, math, and job skills. 

We are so grateful to the Foundation for Women team for investing their time, talent, and resources into making this a success. This is just the beginning!”


All of us here at FFW are so excited for this new partnership and can't wait to see where we go from here.  Thank you to everyone at Learning Upgrade and welcome to the FFW family!
