Partner Schools in Liberia
Here is our current partner schools in Liberia. IFBA is always assessing potential schools and our ability to multiply our impact.
IFBA Secondary Partner Schools (minimal partnership activities done in these schools)
-
Gandoma School
GANLEH DOEKPAR MEMORIAL ACADEMY (GANDOMA) is located in Peace City Community, Lower Johnsonville, Liberia. Gandoma currently has 650 students enrolled. 400 of the students are girls, something that is generally unusual for Liberian schools. IFBA is very proud of this fact and our goal is to provide resources that serve the need of these students. Gandoma does not have electricity or running water. With no library facility at the school, students do not have access to literary materials such as textbooks, books to read, or research materials.

Early Learning Childhood Development Center (ELCD)
Early Learning Childhood Development Center (ELCD) is located in Paynesville, Liberia. ELCD is a struggling school that is dealing with deplorable infrastructure and the difficulty of retaining qualified teachers. ELCD is like many of our other partner schools in that they do not have an adequate facility to serve students. The school is currently in need of immediate infrastructural improvement. Many of the classrooms are run down, there is no electricity, and no access to clean water for students. They also lack adequate bathroom facilities, a library, textbooks for students to utilize, and books for students to read and improve their comprehension skills.

Agape
Agape is IFBA’s fifth partner school in Liberia. Agape is located in Kakata, Margibi County, Liberia, and serves the Gotumo Town Community. Agape has a small space that serves as a library, but this only provides a minimal number of books—lacking textbooks and in-text research materials. Agape is in need of renovations around the school. There are parts of the school that are depleted. There is no running water in the school and the bathroom facilities are inadequate. Like many of our partner schools, Agape also struggles with maintaining its faculty salaries.
