About Us

A nonprofit organization comprised of members like you who are dedicated to living a legacy that makes a difference in the lives of Liberian youths who cannot afford an education. We give our time, talent, and treasures to raise funds for life-changing scholarships. We don't just talk about impact, we are the impact.

We expanded into providing quality transportation for our scholars, establishing scholarship criteria based on research from reputable international institutions, and partnering with grassroots organizations in Liberia to provide unconventional education for amazing students. We believe our work, combined with our collaborations with GivingTuesday, would bring a BETTER FUTURE AHEAD for Liberia.

Our Founder

Jallah, a resilient survivor of the Liberian Civil Wars, overcame immense challenges to pursue education and build a life of service. After fleeing to the U.S. as a refugee, he earned advanced degrees and became a Senior Business Analyst with experience at Leidos, a Department of Defense contractor. In 2009, he founded YesLiberia, a volunteer-run organization empowering Liberian youth through education, leadership training, and service opportunities, supporting hundreds of students annually.

Globally recognized, Jallah serves on the #GivingTuesday Board of Directors and leads initiatives in Liberia. A sought-after consultant and speaker, he advises charities worldwide and has volunteered with organizations like the Red Cross and Save the Children. In his free time, he enjoys soccer, family, and travel.

Our Team

With our Advisory Board's combined years of incredible experiences and passion for service, our advisory board helps us lift the heavy stones we cannot lift by ourselves by opening windows of support. We are thankful for their commitments and services.

Our Executive Board Members have one thing in common; the willingness to use their personal and professional resources and skills to advance YesLiberia’s mission.

We've benefited from more than 151 volunteers from 24 different countries. The following individuals are a few volunteers who play crucial roles every week.

Finally, we appreciate those who helped us get started.
