2021/2022 Back To School Donation
What: Back To School Donation to Poor Children
When: October 16- 22, 2021
Where: 6 Communities (Montserrado & Margibi Counties)
Who: 150 Poor Liberian school children (males and females) ages 3 to 17 years of age.
Why: To put smiles on the faces of poor children and to help ease some of the financial burdens faced by single parents and poor families by helping to provide their children with some learning materials they need to make their learning easier.
Background:
The current harsh economic challenges in the country have made it almost impossible for many children to return to school, two weeks now since the 2021/2022 academic year commenced on November 1, 2021, as mandated by the Ministry of Education, all schools for the academic year. Two weeks now into the new school year, most children are unable to start school because of the parents' financial inability to raise their children’s fees. On the other hand, even those children whose parents have managed to have them enrolled, lack adequate learning materials to make their learning easier. This includes copybooks and other learning accessories.
Mythology:
Just A Girls’ team headed by the founder and CEO will carry out the distributions in 6 counties within Margibi and Montserrado counties. This donation will specifically target poor and vulnerable children. We have identified needy beneficiaries from across the communities listed below which we have already mapped. JAGI will do a pre-screening or have a listing of said children who will benefit from the gesture. The target communities or groups are Sugar Hill Community in Red-Light and Johnsonville Logan Town Community in Montserrado County. In these two communities, we will serve 25 children per community which will total 50 recipients.
In Margibi County, the communities are Foto Community (30 children to benefit), Grand Gedeh Community (20 children), Love A Child Orphanage (25 children), and Freeport Community (25 children). All these will total 150 beneficiaries. The items to be donated include copybooks, pencils, sharpeners, color crayons, pens, and menstrual pads.
