Support the Hungry No More Agricultural Initiative: Building a Sustainable Future for Our Children
At Levuma in Bomi County, Liberia, our after-school program provides children with not only education but also nourishment, ensuring they have the strength to learn and grow. However, sustaining this initiative requires a long-term solution. That’s why we are launching the Hungry No More Agricultural Initiative—a farm designed to provide fresh, locally grown food to support our students and their education.
With your support, we can create a self-sufficient food source that not only feeds our students but also empowers the community with agricultural skills and economic opportunities.
Join us in this mission to ensure that no child in Levuma goes to bed hungry. Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to a future where education and nourishment go hand in hand.
Your donation will help us:
- Provide daily nutritious meals for our children
- Secure land for farming
- Purchase seeds, tools, and equipment
- Train local farmers and students in sustainable agriculture

Atema Addy, UPLIFT CEO
When I started this journey, I had one simple belief: every child deserves a chance to thrive. Not just to survive, but to learn, to grow, and to dream without limits. Yet, in too many communities, poverty, hunger, and lack of opportunity steal these chances away. This is why our work began—not just as a project, but as a movement to break these cycles and replace them with hope, education, and empowerment. Our mission goes beyond providing meals or classrooms; we are building sustainable solutions that uplift entire communities. From education and youth development to food security and skills training, we are working to create a future where no child is left behind. But we cannot do this alone. It takes a community of people who care—people like you. Every act of kindness, every donation, and every effort to uplift another makes a difference. Together, we are proving that change is possible, that challenges can be overcome, and that a brighter future is within reach.
