EMERGENCY APPEAL

200 Children Are About to Lose Their School

The government is demolishing our school in Liberia to build a road. Without immediate action, 200 students will have nowhere to learn. We need your help to build a new school.

HELP BUILD A NEW SCHOOL

What Happened

The full story of why 200 children need your help.

For years, the Mama Tee Tees Foundation has operated a school in Liberia serving over 200 students -- children who would otherwise have no access to education. For many of these children, our school is not just a place to learn; it is their lifeline.

The government has announced plans for a major road construction project that cuts directly through our school property. The building must be demolished to make way for the road. There is no option to stay.

This is not a distant threat -- it is happening now. If we do not act quickly, 200 students will be displaced from their education with no alternative. Many of these children come from families that cannot afford other schools. Without our school, they simply will not attend school at all.

We are determined not to let this setback become a disaster. With your help, we can build a new, better school -- one that is permanent, purpose-built, and designed to serve these children for decades to come.
