Liberia is a young nation. The population of the country is reported at 5 million as of July 2020 and over 50 percent of that number are children. The vast majority are born into abject poverty.
It is one of the poorest countries in the world, 83.8 percent of Liberia’s population live below the poverty line ($1.25 per day) and 94 percent of workers are poor (living on less than $2 per day). About 64 percent of the population are barely existing on less than a dollar a day.

Statistics can be cold and impersonal but not to Perry Geevon Smith. Born in Liberia, he was able to immigrate to America, received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in criminal justice and lives with a dedicated passion to establish a promising, educated, Christian future for the children and families transformation of Liberia. He has dedicated his life and resources to co-labor with God through establishing schools and providing a safe Christian education atmosphere.
