Buchanan, Liberia – The Nyonblee Cares Foundation has hosted a scholarship and sponsorship program as part of activities commemorating the birthday of Senate Pro Tempore Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence, reaffirming its commitment to expanding access to education for underprivileged children across Liberia.
The initiative brought together students, parents, educators, lawmakers, community leaders, and well-wishers to celebrate not only the birthday of the Senate Pro Tempore but also a shared commitment to investing in Liberia’s future through education.
Speaking at the program, Senator Karnga-Lawrence said she remains dedicated to ensuring that children from financially disadvantaged families have access to quality education.
She noted that many bright and talented children are forced to drop out of school because their parents cannot afford tuition and other educational expenses, adding that the Foundation will continue to provide scholarships and sponsorship opportunities to deserving students across the country.
According to Senator Karnga-Lawrence, the Nyonblee Cares Foundation was established in 2011 and has since grown into a multi-faceted humanitarian organization with several programs aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable Liberians.
She disclosed that the Foundation operates a Surgical Assistance Program, which supports patients requiring life-saving and specialized medical treatment. In addition, the Foundation runs a Speed School Program that provides accelerated education for children from nursery through the fourth grade before transitioning them into formal schools under its scholarship and sponsorship initiative.
Senator Karnga-Lawrence revealed that since its establishment, the Foundation has positively impacted more than 30,000 children through its education and sponsorship programs.
Speaking on behalf of the Liberian Senate, Grand Kru County Senator Albert T. Chie commended the Nyonblee Cares Foundation for its outstanding humanitarian contributions and reaffirmed the Senate’s support for its mission to improve education and healthcare in Liberia.
Senator Chie announced a collective pledge of US$15,000 from members of the Liberian Senate in support of the Foundation’s programs. He said the contribution will be formally presented during the Senate’s regular session on Tuesday as a demonstration of the Legislature’s commitment to supporting initiatives that improve the lives of vulnerable Liberians.
The scholarship and sponsorship program concluded with beneficiaries and guests expressing appreciation to the Nyonblee Cares Foundation for its continued investment in education, healthcare, and community development, while encouraging the organization to sustain its life-changing interventions across the country.
