Our Mission
The mission of the I-HELP Liberia Project is to enhance and support
science education in Liberia and to inspire students to take an
interest in scientific learning. The organization will achieve this
by offering technology and guidance to schools that demonstrate a
commitment to training their students in the disciplines of science.
The I-HELP Liberia Project is founded upon the belief that providing
the tools for Liberian students to apply their knowledge of science
will enable them to create a skilled workforce integral to post-Civil
War rehabilitation efforts.

(1) To seek out donations and arrange the shipment and fair
distribution of the following educational materials:
(a) Laboratory equipment

(2) To organize trips of American science students and professionals
to schools in Liberia in order to:
(a) Introduce and explain the use of scientific equipment
(b) Demonstrate laboratory techniques
(c) Collaborate with teachers to enhance science curricula with
technology and experiments using locally available materials
(3) To form an online framework for Liberian scientists to
communicate, collaborate, and exchange ideas
(4) To expand and redefine our program as necessary to meet the
continuing challenge of furthering science education in Liberia.
