Journalist Seeks Support to Educate West Point Slum Children

MONROVIA – Cecelia Wolah, a young Liberian journalist from the slum of West Point, is calling for financial support to help send 15 children from the slum community to school. These children, aged between 7 and 13, are without educational opportunities as their parents are unemployed, she said.

Last academic year, Cecelia managed to fund schooling for seven children using her own resources, including diverting her tuition fees from United Methodist University to cover their expenses. This year, however, she faces financial difficulties and has been unable to raise the necessary funds.

“It breaks my heart seeing them not in school, constantly asking me, ‘Aunty, when will we start school?’” Cecelia shared.

She has identified Best Gift, a local school, which charges L$7,000 (approximately US$35) per student for an entire academic year. The total cost to cover all 15 children’s tuition, along with books and uniforms, amounts to US$850.

Cecelia, who runs the Cecelia Children Foundation, is driven by her belief that education can transform West Point, known as Liberia’s largest slum, into a community that produces educated and influential individuals who can contribute positively to society.

“Most people in West Point are underprivileged. They just need an opportunity,” Cecelia stated, emphasizing the transformative power of even minimal support. “As a Christian, I believe the blessings follow us in many ways through our endeavors.”

She urges all well-meaning Liberians, both in the country and the diaspora, as well as local businesses, to assist in securing these children’s futures. Those interested in helping can reach her directly through calls or WhatsApp at +231 555 563 974.
