Learning Squared Programs
Learning Squared Liberia offers various programs and initiatives designed to provide young people women and children access to creative learning opportunities and a platform for women to generate income to support their children's education through a grassroots solution.
Social Microfinance Program for Women: Given Liberia's struggling job market, we developed a strategic program to help rural Liberian women to strengthen their economic empowerment in their communities, towns, and villages. Through this structure, women can access a revolving interest-free microloan to develop their entrepreneurial skills, resiliency, and families' ability to be self-sufficient. Of significance is that rural women have an opportunity to articulate their concerns, evaluate their accomplishments, and devise strategies to tackle challenges they may encounter.

School-Based Feeding Program:
Our school lunch program targets the most vulnerable students, women, and children in Bomi and Margibi counties in Liberia and provides them with a meal and snack twice a week. The program is intended to strengthen greater and regularized school attendance, alleviate hunger, and enhance the learning capacity of students in these counties for one academic year. This program is expected to commence next year.
Leadership and Education: Learning Squared Liberia supports rural women's leadership and participation through the rural women's structure in helping with issues that affect their lives and improved rural livelihoods.
Support to Rural Education Program:
We provide direct educational support and opportunities for primary school students in rural Liberia. Since 2017, we have worked with primary schools and students between the ages of 6 and 16 residing in Liberia's rural communities to support and improve children's education in Liberia.
Building Skills for Employment (BUSE). It is an initiative designed by Learning Squared -Liberia to improve employment opportunities for young people. The program is a social entrepreneurship program that aims to transform youth unemployment and underemployment into an opportunity for wealth creation, gaining experiences for jobs.
