White Heart Initiative, leading the future

projects.

Our work is built around three focus areas: education, empowerment and health. We deliver it through two projects: Jumpstart, our quarterly mentorship programme, and Freedom's Future, our annual Independence Day celebration.

three focus areas.

Each focus area runs through both of our projects.

  • Students sitting at wooden desks writing in notebooks in a small classroom.

    Education

    We promote civic education and academic excellence, and introduce children to digital skills and STEM subjects from an early age.

  • Children in purple shirts and red berets gathered around a woman showing them how to weave a fishing basket.

    Empowerment

    We help children build self-awareness and work on their personal development, and we promote both soft and hard skills they can use at school, at home and later in life.

Freedom's Future

Our annual Independence Day celebration for children

Freedom's Future is our Independence Day celebration. It brings together children from orphanages and local churches in underserved communities. Through mentorship sessions, educational and entertainment activities, we keep children in a safe space while teaching them the true value of Liberia's independence.

We also reach out to deliver food, mattresses, school bags, books and stationery directly to orphanages in need.
