Returned Peace Corps Volunteers started FOL as a non-profit in 1985, and we now proudly include Liberians, diplomats, missionaries, academics, development workers, and others committed to Liberia.

We share our experiences in social and outreach events, advocate for shared values, and sponsor programs that advance Liberian aspirations. All who support our mission are invited to become members.

Programs

We are proud of our comprehensive programs to support Liberians in many ways.

Small Grants Image

We make Small Grants to registered non-profit NGOs operating in Liberia to support and conduct sustainable programs in vocational training and special education, public health initiatives, environmental improvement, psychosocial support systems for vulnerable groups, and are open to other initiatives from NGOs that can demonstrate impact. You can learn more about Small Grants here.

Family Literacy Initiative Image

The Family Literacy Initiative recognizes that parents are a child’s first teacher. This program sponsors in-home multi-year techniques to raise the literacy level of all family members, from preschool to adult. You can learn more about the Family Literacy Initiative here.

Health Programs Image

Our Health Program helped community-based clinics and organizations cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, as it had done earlier with the Ebola outbreak. We sponsor professional workshops led by our Liberian Health Team for faculty members and administrators from schools of nursing and midwifery programs to update areas of medical knowledge and teaching competency. You can learn more about the health program here.
