Current List of Needs
THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MEDICAL CLINIC AND CAFETERIA
Construction of a medical clinic and cafeteria at the Heart of Grace High School in Lower Johnsonville, Liberia is underway. We currently do not provide food for over 1,500 children that we cater to. And there is also no medical clinic in the entire community of over seventeen thousand people. Nothing less than five of our precious children come to school with either chronic Malaria or Fever every single day that we have to take to hospital at our own expense because the parents are just too poor to pay hospital bills for their children. This all important piece of project will cost approximately $50, 000 USD
TEACHER ADOPTION PROGRAM
The Heart of Grace Elementary School is tuition-free to students because all school overhead is funded by money raised in Louisiana. We currently need people who are willing to adopt a teacher or staff member by paying his/her salary for a 9-month school year. Monthly salaries range from $80 - $185 per month. A picture of the chosen teacher, including biographical information, will be provided to sponsors.
In order to attend school, parents must only provide a uniform, shoes, a notebook and pencils at a cost of $13 per child, and still some can’t afford it. The uniform fund will be distributed to students on an as-needed basis.
Many items we use in daily life in America are not available in Liberia. Technology lags far behind western standards and, if available, basic books, furniture and equipment is expensive relative to local earning potential. Annually, we ship donated items to support school and other community programs in Liberia. We are once again in the process of gathering items to fill another 40-foot container, which we hope to ship in June or July of 2012. Shipping, port fees and local transportation costs approximate $10,000 per shipment.
Since the power grid in Liberia was destroyed in the war, all power in the country is produced by generators. The 7.5kW generator at the school does not have the capacity to handle our growing needs. A 30kW generator may be purchased in Liberia for approximately $17,000 including transportation and installation.
LAPTOPS FOR COMPUTER TRAINING CENTER GRADUATES
The 842 Computer Training Center teaches Microsoft Office skills to young adults who were denied educational opportunities during their youth due to the civil war. This 9-month program educates approximately 100 students per year. With your donation of $100, Change Agent Network will purchase a laptop computer for a graduate.
COMPUTER DONATIONS
The 842 Computer Training Center utilizes used computers and printers collected in Louisiana to operate its program. Donations in excess of the needs of the school are distributed to other area schools and governmental agencies that lack equipment.
LIFE SKILLS PROGRAM
The effects of civil war further complicate the already difficult teenage and young adult years. In order to start a Life Skills program, we need materials which address conflict resolution, leadership development, abstinence, HIV/AIDS, peer pressure, drug and alcohol, and other social issues.
SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM
Change Agent Network recognizes the importance of making its programs self-sustaining. Our vision is to surround the schools with income-producing assets which will fully fund school expenses. The assets in these programs will be owned by Change Agent Network but will be leased to local Liberians to operate, providing job opportunities for the community.
SCOOTERS
Scooters serve as taxis in Liberia. Scooters are leased for $7 per day, 5 days per week, generating approximately $1,800 in annual income. Income earned over the day-rate belongs to the operator. Scooters may be purchased in Liberia for $1,100 each. We currently have one scooter in operation.
SCHOOL BUSES
School buses will be leased on a day-rate basis to provide long-distance transportation service. Used school buses may be purchased at Louisiana State government auctions for approximately $1,000 and shipped to Liberia for an additional $1,000. We estimate that one bus will generate approximately $20,000 annually.
BUSINESS CENTERS
Much like FedEx Stores, Change Agent Network plans to open a business center in Monrovia to provide computer repair, computer processing, e-mail, fax, copying and internet services. The center will provide job opportunities for graduates of the 842 Computer Training Center, and all profits will support school activities. Store front rental and initial set-up costs are estimated at $5,000.
COMMUNITY NEEDS
Yassah’s Sisters: Yassah’s Sisters was formed by a group of Lafayette women to support the numerous single mothers in Liberia who have difficulty feeding their children. In this pay-it-forward program, a woman receives a machete, hoe and ax and bags of peanuts, rice, beans, corn and okra seeds for planting. After harvest they pay forward a bag and a half of seeds to the next woman. Please see the Yassah’s Sisters tab for donation opportunities.
