Steven Koffa
Liberian Refugee Helps to Rebuild Liberia
with Orphans Mentoring and Learning Center
Mentor, train and support Liberian
Refugee orphans and children.
From his own experiences as an
innocent child orphaned by the ravages of war,
Steven Koffa has a passion to help children
navigate through dire circumstances to do more
than just survive.
Steve
Koffa's passion is to teach children to
understand the value of character and integrity
and the importance of being kind and giving to
others. Steven teaches children the history of
their nation and country and teaches math
skills. His desire is to bring additional
teaching such as computer skills and networking
to these children so that they will learn
valuable skills as they grow to ensure the
development of new businesses and skill sets.
These children
and youth are the next generation of a country
that is now in the process of rebuilding after
decades of war.
The Facts
After civil war ravaged Liberia from 1989-2003
thousands of its citizens fled to Ghana
for refuge. Most, if not all of the refugees now
residing the Buduburam Refugee Camp have lost
homes, land, business and family members to
murder and rape.
Now, after almost 20
years of living in the camp,
they must now must relocate
back to Liberia to rebuild
their homeland.
Liberia is not ready for
them as this country is not
prepared to offer, housing,
education or employment for
so many.
There are
over 40,000 Liberian
Refugees in the
Buduburam Refugee Camp
outside of Accra, Ghana,
Africa.
The relocation of these
refugees to Liberia has
begun. With an
unemployment rate of 85%,
the relocation program looks
bleak.
