Provision of Scholarships for Underprivileged Children
Through our scholarship program, we work with public and private schools to provide full scholarship
for underprivileged children.
Over the past years, We are provided more than 350 full scholarship to children across Montserrado and Nimba county.
Recently, the Chief Executive Officer of Sweat Equity Leadership Development,
Dr. Pitman Kennedy, has awarded additional scholarships to 27 school-going children in Toweh
Town, District #6, Nimba County.
The scholarship presentation took place during a day-long community engagement
program that brought together citizens from Toweh Town and surrounding villages. The event was hosted
in Toweh Town, where Dr. Kennedy and his delegation were warmly welcomed
by chiefs, elders, women, and youth of the district.
Beneficiary institutions include Varmie Memorial High School, Little Angel Daycare, and
Toweh Public School. Students from these institutions were selected to benefit from the
27 scholarships aimed at promoting access to education and academic excellence.
During the program, Dr. Kennedy expressed appreciation to the people of Toweh Town for the warm
reception accorded him and his team. He acknowledged the elders for their role in providing guidance,
unity, and leadership within the communities and noted that the district has produced many
distinguished and intelligent citizens who are contributing positively to national development.
Dr. Kennedy shared that his passion for education and youth empowerment is rooted in his personal
life experiences, including spending two years as a refugee during Liberia’s civil conflict.
These experiences influenced his commitment to creating meaningful opportunities and multiple
pathways for young people to succeed.
Through Sweat Equity Leadership Development and the scholarship program, Dr. Kennedy continues to work as a youth advocate
dedicated to reshaping lives, empowering young people, and strengthening communities across Liberia.
