Our Founding Story

I was invited to serve as the keynote speaker for a weeklong church conference (camp meeting) in Liberia, West Africa, in December 2022.  The event was held on a red dirt soccer field.  My host had built an open-air arena for the event, and each night, more than three hundred people gathered—some seated on plastic or wooden chairs, others standing—to hear the message.

One Wednesday night, following my sermon, we transformed the service into a time of prayer and anointing. The line for prayer seemed endless, and the crowd kept growing.  Most of those who came forward were children and young people—some as young as elementary school age, others in their late teens.  As we prayed for nearly two hours, I noticed a recurring theme: many of them asked for help with school tuition.  They shared stories of their parents’ inability to support their education, and their desire to continue learning despite the odds.

As I stood beneath the sweltering, humid night sky, a dream was born.  I thought to myself, “Why not create a nonprofit organization that offers free tuition assistance to out-of-school children and youth in developing nations?”  That idea took root in 2023.

In 2024, we launched our first fundraising campaign. I had hoped to raise $100,000, but we received only $3,391. Discouraged, I confided in our team leader in Liberia. His response was simple and powerful: “Just get started, even if it’s one person.” That advice changed everything.

With the funds we raised and additional funds from me, we were able to sponsor six students. Each student received $600, which covered school fees, books, and uniforms.  That small beginning became a powerful testimony. In 2024 alone, an estimated 251 million children lacked access to education.  Our mission is to change that by providing tuition assistance to students in developing nations—empowering them through education, mentorship, and entrepreneurial training to uplift their communities and create a better future for themselves and their countries.
