Hundreds of Liberian women are set to benefit from a new empowerment program next month, courtesy of the Deesire Moore Grace Foundation—a humanitarian organization founded by Deesire Moore, a Liberian based in the United States.
The foundation, which focuses on uplifting women and youth across Liberia, provides vocational training, advocacy, psychosocial support, and programs designed to promote economic independence and self-confidence. Its broader mission includes educational assistance, healthcare outreach, humanitarian relief, and awareness campaigns aimed at improving lives and strengthening communities.
Through its latest initiative, the foundation aims to deliver tangible benefits to Liberian women, including:
· Improved access to vocational and leadership training
· Greater opportunities to start or expand small businesses
· Increased awareness of women’s rights and gender equality
· Psychosocial and community support for vulnerable women
· Better access to educational and humanitarian assistance for women and their families
Moore, who has remained deeply connected to her homeland despite her base in the U.S., says the foundation’s work is driven by a belief that empowering women strengthens not just families, but the entire nation.
“When women are financially independent and confident in their abilities, entire communities benefit,” Moore said. “We are investing in Liberia’s future—one woman at a time.”
The upcoming program is expected to reach nearly one hundred women in its first phase, with plans for expansion as the foundation continues to grow its footprint across the country.
For many beneficiaries, the support comes at a critical time, as Liberia continues to grapple with high unemployment, limited access to education, and persistent gender inequality.
By creating opportunities for skills development, entrepreneurship, and community leadership, the Deesire Moore Grace Foundation is helping Liberian women reclaim their voices, build sustainable livelihoods, and contribute meaningfully to the nation’s social and economic development.
