We are unapologetically determined to contribute to the improvement of the disabled community within the Republic of Liberia ♿

Our PC, Tarlee is featured on the latest ep of the Institute of Basic Technology podcast (available on podcast streaming platforms)

He talks accessible education in Liberia, his new book (3 Facets of Effective Classroom Management), #williettesafehouse, and much more!

[Williette Safehouse @WSafehouse]

It’s convenient for development initiatives to limit their reach to Monrovia because of variant some-what valid reasons, but we can’t continue to leave behind rural Liberians.
It impedes our collective hope and mission for change.
Everyone deserves a chance.

[Williette Safehouse @WSafehouse]

Everyone has the capacity to learn but require the opportunity to do so

We’ve been able to see how transformative extending our programs beyond Monrovia can be for marginalized persons; especially within the community we serve

Congratulations to our own project manager, Tarlee on the completion of his upcoming first publication : 3 Facets of Effective Classroom Management (Planning, Procedure, and Routine Management)

The book will be available on Amazon for release this October

We spent a few days in Bomi late last month to execute training sessions with our fellows and certify the older cohort who completed their courses

We’ve been intentional in training our tutors to purposefully cater to the learning needs of each pupil; a methodology that unfortunately, isn’t common in schools around Liberia.
Let’s change the learning disparity towards the disabled community.

While still observing World Autism Month, we will be sharing some facts for awareness and how you can support someone with autism.

Keep a look out for posts all week.

A class day is never complete without the dynamic duo of a facilitator and a sign language interpreter.

We are thankful to these skilled professionals who make it possible to bridge the communication gap with our serviced communities.

Back on course is our tutoring program for grade school students.

We held the orientation with parents and students last week to acquaint everyone and ensure that we will be serving the specific learning needs of these pupils.

He’s a member of the Liberian Albino Society, who completed our fellowship program in 2020, and was hired thereafter as a teacher’s aid in 2021.

This is the first time an individual from the Albino Society has worked with a beauty brand like Glow Salon in Liberia

[Williette Safehouse @WSafehouse]

Our friends @glowliberia recently contacted us for a male model to include in their latest beauty campaign, and Stephen was able to be part of his first modeling gig.

[Williette Safehouse @WSafehouse]

Our hairdressing course has been an exciting addition to the program for the fellows.

This learning & self care combo is a proven boost of confidence and fun way to engage even the most timid of the fellows.

Our Operations coordinator, Julateh, who is also a specialized Microdata analyst, hosted a training session last wk on ‘Intro to Data Science’

It’s always empowering to have young Liberians, reach out to impact & empower their peers. Liberia’s development is our responsibility

[Williette Safehouse @WSafehouse]

We’ve added a public speaking course to our #emancipatefellowship program, for the hearing impaired fellows

Building confidence in self-expression, regardless of what language is a big step towards preparedness for equal opportunities for these brilliant young people
