Education Program

Our broad objective for the Community of Hope Academy Mission is to buttress the existing educational structures in Liberia by providing hands-on life-changing education (academic and vocational studies) to prepare students in their professions and callings (ministries) for services in their communities in the North-Eastern Rivercess County, Liberia and beyond, regardless of gender, social status and religion.

Team/community-work is the mode of education.

It will also contribute to efforts of government by utilizing sustainable Christian-based learning and capacity building process of the next generation of people ready to transform their lives and those of others.

We build and operate school(s) to provide hands-on education to buttress the existing educational structures in Liberia by establishing quality Christian-based academic and vocational institutions that enable and assist students to interpret social and human relationships and leadership in the light of the teachings of the WORD OF GOD.

Psychosocial & Rehabilitation with Reentry Services:

Our Youth & Rehabilitation and Re-entry Program

Vulnerable Youth Program

We endeavor to make our community a wholesome and integral part of the development of the lives of our people (especially the youthful population), we have drawn a scheme of social and educational programs to institute good moral and civic values and also to enhance sense of self-esteem in the lives of our young people.

The program is aimed at endeavoring to make our communities a wholesome and integral part of the development of the lives of our vulnerable people (especially the youthful population), through social (including substance & psychological abuse) and educational programs to institute moral and civic values and a sense of self-esteem in the lives of our young people.

The target is vulnerable youth from age 8 to 26 in the Grand Bassa, Rivercess and outskirts of Lower Margibi and Montserrado Counties.

We use sport (soccer & kickball) as a bate or medium to recruit and rehabilitate vulnerable young people for productive life.

Program

Counseling & Mentorship

Description

Our mentor-ship style program is one that is designed to transform the current state of our disadvantaged youths by providing good counsel and guidance in their everyday lives. We do Substance abuse counseling & society reintegration and De-traumatization.

We provide capacity-building that will enable vulnerable children, adults and the elderly to attain their fullest potential and become responsible, engaged citizens, mentors and leaders of their communities and societies. In our capacity-building program (which is in formal and informal education settings), we identify potential leaders in any career or vocation of choice, prepare and support them to fulfill their individual goals.

Elderly/senior citizens Service

The vulnerable Senior Citizens (elderly folks) program is aimed at endeavoring to make sure vulnerable elderly/old folks are loved and cared for, and to prevent them the many abuses, including calling them names (“witches”, "witchcraft"), especially those who suffer from Alzheimer’s, Parkinson's and dementia diseases. These diseases are foreign to the Liberians!

Our program is to assist with medical screening and awareness in:

High/low blood pressure, diabetes, malaria, typhoid fever, dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
De-traumatization
Assist with Homecare supports
Assist with food and clothing.

Projected Result

The full implementation of this program will reveal a community of changed and responsible old folks/senior citizens who will live a more like accurate lifestyle by transforming their communities as well. In this light, we will experience a reduced diseases, abuse & abandonment and death among our aged vulnerable population.

Target Population

This program is mainly intended for vulnerable old people between the ages of 65 through 100+.

We use folktales, recreations, feeding, medical screenings and self-esteem as a medium to rehabilitate the vulnerable old people. Together, we can give hope for a better future for our vulnerable old folks/senior citizens.

Faith-based Service (chuch Ministry)

CHURCH PLANTING & IN-SERVICE TRAINING

The broad objectives of Abehinnyuen Community of Hope are:

To plant and maintain healthy independent, friendship, relationship, family, and community-oriented churches without walls, where the need exists.

To provide education to buttress the existing faith-based religious educational structures in Liberia (correlating, comparing and contrasting the Abrahamic faith, such as Christianity, Islam & Judaism).

To train pastors, deacons, pteachers and provide in service-training to equip city and rural pastors and church workers, by providing in service pastoral training and to train Church workers to become authentic in their witness and services to God’s people.

In order to have an effective in-service training program in post conflict and post Ebola Liberia, our pastors and church workers need more academic, pastoral and ministry trainings. ACOH is willing to partnership or work with local and international Christian institutions to help train the teachers/pastors for our in-service training program.

Presently, Abehinnyuen Community of Hope, Inc., is affiliated with Grace Bible Faith Community Church of Liberia (GBFCCL) and Christ Evangelistic Liberation League (CELL) Ministries in Liberia for the pastoral/laymen in-service training. The pastors of these two churches help with the in-service programs where needed.

We also use radio broadcasting and social media for training.
