Project Description

Country: Liberia

Location: Monrovia

Total Budget: $12,000

Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy

Activity Type: Education: Literacy

Summary: Supplies such as desks,chairs, textbooks, computers and generator to a new elementary/middle school in Monrovia, Liberia starting in Fall 2018


With the help and financing by our Club Honorary Rotarian Dr.Heinz Hoenecke, a new elementary/middle school will be built to help initially for about 100 students in a poor neighborhood of Monrovia. A community-development assessment was completed to establish the need and location of the school. The school will be built to accommodate eventually for about 200 students. This district grant will provide the furnishings and equipment for this new school including a power producing generator. The plan calls for the school to be established for students covering grades 1 through 9 and to be ready for classes in Fall 2018. Our club Rotarians with the guidance and supervision of Dr.Hoenecke will monitor the progress and may join him for a visit to Liberia. The project will be complete by June 2018.

This is a 2 year project with school supplies to two schools in Liberia being built by our Rotarian Dr. Heinz Hoenecke. The Grand Bassa School is nearing completion and $6k has been sent for making arrangements to purchase school supplies for that school. The Other School in Monrovia will start in September 2018 and the school supplies for that school will be made available in March 2019.

District Grants are for 1 year projects. Per your last History Log entry, $6,000 has been spent for first school and second school will not be completed until March 2019. That is not an acceptable time frame. We need your grant to be completed now as we need to send our 2017-2018 DDF Report to The Rotary Foundation. You received $3,750 DDF for this project. We need paid receipts totaling $7,500. If they do not total $7,500, we need half of the unspent funds sent back to the District. You can apply for a new District Grant for the 2018-2019 year to complete the project.
