Who we are

How we started

Smile Liberia was formed by four young men from Liberia (William Ward, Achilles Killen, Ernest Harmon and Cyrus Strother), who as children, lived through the horrors of the Liberian civil war. As a means of helping to reduce the high poverty rate in Liberia, which was mainly caused by the aftermath of the war, they formed Smile Liberia in 2006. Smile Liberia’s primary goal is to provide educational opportunities for children living in poverty.
