The Schools for Justice Foundation strives to foster local partnerships in all of its projects. Rather than imposing beliefs or frameworks, we work with visionary members of the community who want to improve their own lives, as well as the lives of their peers and children. We invite willing citizens of New Georgia to work with us in breaking Liberia’s cycle of poverty.
