Children of Africa POULTRY FARM
Quality Education
Our poultry farm is become an integral partner in bolstering the quality of education within the community. First and foremost, a portion of the farm's profits are directly channeled to the Children of Africa School System (CASS) in Bong Mines, ensuring that there are adequate resources and infrastructure to facilitate effective learning. This financial support aids in procuring essential educational materials, improving classroom facilities, and offering teacher training programs. Furthermore, the farm provides hands-on educational opportunities for students, allowing them to understand modern agricultural practices, business operations, and sustainability measures. This synergy between agriculture and education not only augments the curriculum but also instills a practical skillset and work ethic among the students. In essence, the poultry farm's collaboration with Bong Mines School serves as a paradigm, demonstrating how local enterprises can profoundly impact and elevate the standard of education in their communities.
Ecucation in Liberia
Background
Challanged but hopefull
Liberia's education system faced significant challenges due to a 14-year civil war and the 2014 Ebola outbreak. During the conflict, many schools were closed or damaged, especially in rural areas, leading to a massive number of out-of-school children. Even critical facilities like water and sanitation, which are essential for retaining students (especially girls), were affected. Many teachers either left the country or sought different employment.
​
Despite these challenges, progress has been made post-conflict, with initiatives from the Ministry of Education, UNICEF, and other partners to rebuild infrastructure, train teachers, and reform curricula. By 2015, about 1.4 million children were enrolled in various school levels. However, Liberia still lags behind in education statistics compared to other African countries, with high out-of-school rates, low early childhood program access, and a mere 54% primary education completion rate.
​
Additionally, many students are older than their grade's appropriate age, increasing dropout risks. This overage enrollment stems from late school entries and non-enforcement of age-appropriate policies. Moreover, the country grapples with a significant number of unqualified teachers, a direct aftermath of the civil war, hindering quality education.
