Why Get Involved?
​
Garyah Valley Academy (GVA) was created to help eliminate hunger and illiteracy. The children we help don't have access to proper nutrition, schooling, and may have a hard time learning. Since 2016 we built a makeshift school to accommodate 126 children up to 6th grade and 13 teachers and staff. As GVA continues to expand, it is our hope that you will join us in helping the underprivileged children of Liberia and improving the educational system, one neighborhood at a time.
How To Get Involved?
We are currently accepting monetary donations through our charity Joseph K Tarlue Foundation for Youth Development. You can enter any amount or one of the suggested amounts in the product description below.
​
Our most pressing need is to move our growing population to a more secure and accomodating school building. Follow us on Instagram and on the School Building Page to get updates on how your donations are directly impacting our students.
Contribute to the costs of laying the foundation of the new building, constructing new school spaces that include classrooms, a science lab, a library, a multi-purpose room, a kitchen, staff offices, and bathrooms.
Help maintain our ongoing efforts to feed our students breakfast and lunch.
Sponsor one of our 6th graders as they transition from our tuition-free school to a neighboring middle school.

Sponsor a Graduate
GVA provides tuition-free schooling up to 6th grade, after which we encourage our graduates to continue at nearby high schools. Your donation will cover a 1-year tuition fee (including uniform and books) for one of our transitioning students. For each sponsored child, you will receive updates, on their academic progress, photos and a thank you letter.
