Liberian Student In US Launches Fundraising Campaign To Rebuild County School

A young Liberian student studying in the US, Mohammad Bah, has launched a Gofundme/fundraising campaign dubbed “Help Renovate Yalon Town Public School” to tackle educational inequality and systemic problems afflicting the education system in the country.

Yalon Town Public School is the only school in more than 20 rural villages that provides primary education for young students.

In recent weeks, the school was hit by a severe storm and heavy rain that severely damaged the building as a result of which students are learning in an open and unconducive environment

Through the Moijama Educational Foundation, Mohammed donated benches, blackboards, and an office desk to make sure the students have a comfortable learning environment.

Mohammed, who is the organizer of the fundraiser disclosed that the crumbling school building is not the only obstacle to students’ learning: windows are broken, the building is damaged, and worst of all, students have to sit in the sun while undertaking instructional activities because the roof was blown away by the storm.

It is estimated that the total cost to reconstruct the school will be $6,740.

Although the major concern at this point is the roofing of the school, many parts of the school’s building are dilapidated. Consequently, the budget was increased to rebuild the entire school instead of simply reroofing it due to the poor condition of most parts of the building.

Mohammed revealed that the goal is to start construction as soon as possible and complete it before classes begin for the 2021-2022 academic school year.
