BOPOLU, Gbarpolu County, Liberia – The Munia Foundation has provided 50 school bags and 100 sanitary pads to students attending five schools in Bopolu District, Gbarpolu County, in an effort to promote education and improve menstrual hygiene among schoolgirls.
The donation targets elementary pupils and teenage girls from vulnerable backgrounds who face financial challenges in accessing essential educational and hygiene materials.
Speaking at the presentation, the foundation’s Country Director, Ishmael Siryon III, said the organization remains committed to helping disadvantaged children access basic educational resources. He encouraged students to remain focused on their studies, noting that financial hardship should not prevent children from pursuing education.
The foundation’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer, James Munia Musa, also stressed the importance of community responsibility and supporting those in need.
“Giving back to society must never be an option, it is a duty call for all of us. We are giving hope back where it belongs,” Musa stated.
The beneficiary institutions include Eric Scott Memorial United Methodist School, Bopolu Central Elementary School, Stephen Y. Benda Pentecostal School, Bopolu Bible Mission School, and King Sao Boso English and Arabic School.
The 50 school bags will assist elementary students with basic learning needs, while the sanitary pads are intended to help teenage girls maintain menstrual hygiene and participate in school activities with greater confidence.
The initiative underscores the foundation’s commitment to community development and highlights the importance of supporting children’s education, health, and dignity.
