African Ladies who Brunch are participating in Mudderella, a 5-mile muddy obstacle course in New York, to raise funds for two nonprofit organizations in Liberia.
You can help us support The Franciscan Works Liberian Mission School in Black Tom Town and the More than Me Girls School in Monrovia. Both provide critical schooling and care to children orphaned by the Ebola epidemic and HIV/AIDS. Any contribution to our pledge helps:
- At Franciscan Works $3 provides meals and education for a child per day.
- For More Than Me $4 provides education, health and social services for each girl child per day.
Our pledge is in honor of Johnson Moore, a 17-year-old student from Francesco Works. Sadly Jonathan lost his life to Ebola while caring for his family.
Help us support the education of these children by supporting the African Ladies who Brunch's pledge to complete the Mudderella obstacle course.
