Uhuru and Killingsworth Form Partnership
It brings me joy to announce that Uhuru and Killingsworth Boarding School have officially forged a joint educational partnership. This collaboration with Killingsworth holds a deep significance for me, and here’s why: First, Liberia is my country of birth; second, Liberia stands as one of the poorest nations in Africa, suffering the tragic aftermath of a civil war that spanned 14 years and claimed the lives of an estimated 150,000 to 250,000 men, women, and children, leaving the country struggling to recover; and third, I made a promise to my mother that the first Uhuru satellite school in Africa would be established in Liberia.
Uhuru Satellite School Partnership Update
In recent years, Uhuru Liberia has been on a quest for a permanent home. Numerous schools expressed interest in becoming Uhuru satellite schools, but unfortunately, many did not meet our standards. During my most recent visit to Liberia, I had the opportunity to have several meetings with Killingworth Mission School after studying their proposal. We concluded that this was the perfect fit. An offer was extended to them to become the official Uhuru satellite school in Africa. We committed to enhancing the educational standards and improving various aspects of the institution. This school encompasses everything we envision: its ideal location and strong administration. It is a private Christian institution hosting just over 400 students from K-12.
I am delighted to share that we are nearing the finalization of our agreement, bringing us closer to realizing this dream. We anticipate that by late February, the agreement will be official, and I will provide additional details. Our dedicated staff has been working tirelessly.
