Meet the Founder…

Hello,  

I am grateful to share my story about my humanitarian journey.  

In February 2024, I traveled with my mother to Liberia, Africa for the first time. Since 2019, her humanitarian work has inspired me to think beyond myself and help others.

During our visit to a school, several girls around my age, told me that they were unable to attend school consistently because their parents could not afford school fees. Without hesitation, I told them that I would help.

Four months later, I founded The Brooke Gates Project (BGp). I used savings from my part-time job, and with support from donors, I was able to pay the tuition for over 50 students K-12 in Liberia for the 2024-2025 school year.

I am committed to supporting the youth, and helping them to have an opportunity to succeed.  

Thank you for supporting me on this meaningful journey!
