About us

Who we are

UPLIFT Is a non- profit organization that believes education and dignity is for all.
UPLIFT logo

UPLIFT was founded in 2014 after a Smith College-funded research trip to Liberia. The purpose of this trip was to uncover issues within the modern-day education system and, most importantly, to begin constructing a feasible solution. UPLIFT provides human advancement services in all facets of life. We are rooted in Liberia, West Africa, with our second home in Philadelphia, PA, USA, and as of 2020, also in Mali, West Africa. In Liberia, UPLIFT has established seven reading rooms in Duazon’s neighboring schools, serving K-12 students. For most of these students, UPLIFT provided their first experience with written text and other advanced school materials.

We are currently working in Philidalphia and two other African countries: Liberia and Mali.
