A Message from the Founder/CEO for 2023
In January 2023, Sensee Foundation of Hope entered its third calendar year of operations as a 501 C (3) nonprofit organization, dedicated to supporting underprivileged people struggling to meet basic needs such as food, clothing, and education. Our mission to empower disadvantaged women and children to overcome the challenges of poverty is gaining momentum, especially in the rural areas of Liberia, where our Children Education Programs are producing encouraging results. Education and Empowerment continue to be our focus in 2023.
2022 Activities. Sensee Foundation of Hope is thrilled to report significant accomplishments in 2022. In June 2022, we embarked on an ambitious project to renovate the Tahn Maffa Elementary School in Mbaloma, Grand CapeMount County, Liberia. The school building, and classrooms were in a state of major disrepair, and there was a dire need for upgraded restroom facilities and adequate classroom furniture including blackboards, desks, chairs, tables, doors, and windows. In addition to a physical infrastructure upgrade, we identified the need for qualified teachers to assist with learning activities at the school. Prior to the School Renovation Project, school enrollment was very low due to the many problems the school was facing. With the building improvements we completed and the new furniture and fixtures we provided, enrollment has tripled, and the school has become a fully functioning elementary school. Notwithstanding this success, The highlight of the entire School Renovation Project has been the tremendous support and committed participation by members of the community. This has been a gratifying experience for Sensee Foundation and everyone else involved.
To ensure that we meet all local and government requirements for the activities we are pursuing at the school, the organization coordinated all activities related to the school upgrade and acquisition of Teachers, with representatives in the Ministry of Education, and other relevant public officials. With successful collaboration between the Foundation and the Liberian Education Department, the Ministry approved five qualified teachers who are now working with the organization. The Volunteer Teachers will receive a Stipend each month for their services.
Other programs: Our Widows program that benefits the widows, was placed on hold for the last two months of 2022 due to the shortage and high prices of rice In the country. However, since then, the Liberian government lifted the tariffs on goods at the port of Monrovia, which stabilized the price and the availability of rice. The organization will resume the Widows meal program in 2023. We are now in the process of reviving the Widows Program to full strength, and plan to add up to 5 new Widows this year. We also plan to empower more eligible young women through sponsorship to learn skills that will enable them to sustain themselves…

HOW SENSEE FOUNDATION OF HOPE, INC. IS
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
FOCUS ON CHILDREN
Overcoming the vulnerabilities of children in developing countries is critical to their success as adults and as contributing members to their families and society. Factors to overcome include lack of education opportunities, limited or no access to basic healthcare and hygiene services, and protection of the rights of infants and young children.
|
FOCUS ON WOMEN & GIRLS
Empowering Women and Young Girls to stand on their own two feet will activate the tremendous economic potential of women in the workforce. We can help to restore their hopes and dreams, by doing all we could to stop the vicious cycle of young girls having to drop out of school, forced to marry soon after reaching puberty, and becoming young mothers.
|
FOCUS ON EDUCATION
Ensuring quality education is essential to accomplishing our mission to reduce poverty and economic inequalities, increase individual earning power by enhancing productivity, promote economic growth, and build stronger communities by knowing and respecting rights, laws, and regulations.

FEATURED VIDEOS
TESTIMONIALS
Upon hearing about this organization from a friend, I visited their website and immersed myself in the details of their work. Watching several of their videos deeply moved me, and I felt a deep desire to contribute in any way possible. While I wish I could support every individual in need, I understand that this isn't feasible for most of us.
As I explored the website for ways to make a difference, I discovered that a monthly contribution as modest as $12 can have a profound impact on the lives of a widow, a young boy, or a girl. It's incredible how such a small amount can provide essential care and support. The act of giving, no matter how little, brings me immense joy and satisfaction. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone who has the means to join me in this effort.

I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that I wholeheartedly believe the Sensee Foundation of Hope is making a significant impact. The way you empower underprivileged women and children to break the cycle of poverty through education and humanitarian support is truly inspiring. I am particularly moved by the Sponsor a Child's Education program, and the evidence on your website further solidifies the positive change you're bringing to their lives. You have my full support, and I'm proud to be a part of this incredible journey. Congratulations on the remarkable work you do!
