In 2025, Empowering Generations discovered a critical need for support among young entrepreneurs in Liberia. Many of these talented individuals are trapped in cycles of prostitution, drugs, gangs, and violence—the only paths they know to make money. But together, we can change that!
Imagine a future where young Liberians can build their own businesses and create sustainable lives for themselves and their families.
By contributing to our program, you’re not just donating money; you’re investing in hope and opportunity. Your support will help break the chains of poverty and empower these aspiring entrepreneurs to take control of their futures.
Instead of simply handing out cash, we’re launching a revolutionary loan program that offers funds at a much lower interest rate, compared to what they are charged by wealthier lenders. Here’s how it works:
Community Support
We’ll form Accountability Groups where young entrepreneurs support each other in repaying their loans. If one member struggles, the others will step in to help, creating a strong community that fosters success.
Careful Screening
Each group will be thoroughly screened by our team in Liberia and our board in the U.S. to ensure they are committed and trustworthy. We want to make sure your investment is safe and impactful.
Reinvestment for Future Generations
When you loan money to a group, they will repay the loan, and the interest earned will be reinvested to help even more groups in the future. Your contribution creates a cycle of empowerment that keeps on giving!
Your contributions can make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most. Here are just a few groups that your support could help rise above their current circumstances and become empowered:

In 2018, a group of local Anabaptist leaders and businessmen heard the Liberian call. In their first assessment trip they made connections with a number of Christian nationals. They came home with a burden on their hearts, especially for the many youth and children in the country. The combination of opportunity and abject poverty stunned them and they agreed that the missing ingredient was education and individual empowerment.
