ABOUT FAWE

FAWE Liberia, a national chapter of FAWE International, was launched at the Ministry of Education (MOE) on December 15, 1998 with a mandate to close the gender gap in education and contribute towards the achievement of the Education For All (EFA) goals. FAWE Liberia is officially registered with the Ministries of Planning, Foreign Affairs and Education as a local NGO.

FAWE Liberia’s national priority is to bridge the gender gaps in education by advocating for policy change to improve educational opportunities for girls and young women; to reach those counties in which branches have not yet been established; to execute awareness campaigns at the grass root levels on the need to educate the girl child at all levels; and to carry out development interventions in girls’ education and the empowerment of women.

The Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) is a non-governmental organization that is non-political, voluntary, charitable, non-sectarian and does not discriminate based on race, ideology, color, nationality, or religious persuasion. At FAWE Liberia, we promote gender equity and equality in education in Liberia by fostering favorable policies and attitudes toward girls’ education.
