Liberia's First Lady Development Initiative
Construction of "City of Hope" Progresses
The "City of Hope" is coming alive, as the construction works are progressing at a rapid pace.
All the various buildings are up!
First Lady Clar Marie Weah today, Thursday, January 5, 2023, toured the project with great delight and optimism that the institution will soon open it's doors to the public.
Mrs. Weah is undertaking this initiative through her foundation, Clar Hope Foundation in Marshall, Margibi County, Liberia.
She wants to change the story of less fortunate Liberians through quality education, training, and a new way of life to enable them to contribute to the development processes of Liberia.
The City of Hope multipurpose complex is a dream of transformation for the Liberian people, especially the underprivileged.
It is a beacon of hope for a better and brighter future for our people and country.
This multi-purpose complex, which is still undergoing construction, comprises the following:
1. Academic and vocational school buildings,
2. Dormitories for academic and vocational school students
3. Recreation centers (soccer pitch, tennis court, indoor gym, swimming pool, theatre, etc)
4. Administrative building
5. Clinic, etc.
When completed, the facility would endeavor to accommodate and educate the first batch of 200 girls, ages 3 - 6; rehabilitate and provide technical vocational skills to disadvantaged youth including street girls among others.
The City of Hope project is not being funded by the government of Liberia but through donations from well-meaning individuals, and private donors including Liberians.
You too can join in making this dream a reality by lending your support to Clar Hope Foundation.
