Description

Monrovia Football Academy is the first school in Liberia to combine formal education with professional soccer development. The challenge is to address Liberia's underperforming education system, gender inequality, and lack of opportunities for youth. The Academy uses soccer as a positive incentive mechanism to improve academic performance, break down gender barriers, and prepare its students to lead positive change in Liberia.
