La Jolla, CA - FFW Founder & CEO Deborah Lindholm is headed to Liberia with school supplies and more to meet with Foundation for Women Liberia leaders about the microcredit and education programs currently active. "The purpose of this trip is to strengthen our partnership with Edify and to welcome Dean Paula Cordeiro from SOLES, School of Leadership and Education Sciences, at USD and her colleague. This is the fifth trip for SOLES to Liberia to train our school partners in the very best education practices." explains Lindholm from her home near the ocean.
In the current climate of political upheaval in Liberia, the Foundation for Women's microcredit programs offer a shining example of getting aid to people who need it. "Donors who support our work understand that we work directly with our program participants" says Lindholm. "If you want your money to go directly to help people and not get lost in bureaucracy then just take a look at the photos on this site - those individuals are the people you can help."
FFW Liberia's education partnership with Edify, the microcredit program for schools, has brought this ethos to a larger scale. Working closely with school administrators, Edify supplies and administers loans to schools that fund classrooms, teachers, materials, and more. "In working with Edify we've been able to magnify our microcredit impact. In a country like Liberia, getting kids into school is literally a lifesaving initiative. In just the capital city of Monrovia we've now helped thousands of families".
Lindholm departs for Monrovia, Liberia in mid June. Keep an eye out for her "Letters from Liberia" dispatches...coming soon!
