Mrs. Miama L. Horace, Founder and Executive Director
Building a Solid Foundation Through Education
My family and I were in my neighborhood in Paynesville, Liberia in 2019 and observed many kids playing around and barely clothed during regular school hours. They always appeared hungry and had little or no adult monitoring. After talking with many of them, I learned that they were not registered in school and had nothing constructive to do. The immediate neighborhood had very few schools and their parents could not afford the tuition. Their time was being wasted and were on their way to a challenging and compromising future. My heart was broken.
As time passed by, I learned that many of those kids were still not enrolled in school. I prayed about their calamity and was motivated to provide support. My family and I started the Horace Academy in early 2023 in the neighborhood. Today, we provide free educational and nutritional services to more than fifty young students. And all support is provided by my family and a few friends.
The Horace Academy is soliciting donations to support this worthy cause. Please donate to and support the Horace Academy.
