📍Donated school supplies to over 150 children, including copybooks, pencils, uniforms, and shoes.
📍Launched a Home Study Program in Kollieman’s Town, Bensonville.
📍Organized a road brushing campaign along the Fendell–Bensonville road.
📍Trained 20+ women and girls in soap-making, tie-dye, and household product production.
📍Distributed backpacks to 25+ students with support from Sunrise Forever Inc.
📍Hosted a Christmas party for 200 children in Crozierville.
📍Organized leadership and empowerment programs that reached over 200 young people and students across Montserrado and Bomi Counties.
And many others intiatives.
Speaking on the milestone,
Matthew D. Kerkula, Founder of the Kerkula Foundation, expressed gratitude:
