The Ri’ayah Foundation’s programs are overseen by a group of
well-qualified individuals. Our Board of Directors is comprised of a
professional group of talented individuals who are dedicated to committing
their time and resources to empower the youth to build a stronger future for
Liberia.
-
Our primary advisor is Dr. George Samah, a
C-level executive who holds a PhD in business Administration and Finance. A
former program director at WHO, he has considerable financial, monitoring and
evaluation experience and can help us prioritize our decisions and make the
most effective choices.

We have access to healthcare expertise in
Madiaba Sheriff, who holds a bachelor’s degree in nursing and has worked at the
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia since 2014. She is passionate about helping
children in Liberia reach their full potential.

Our founder, Hawa Sheriff, grew up in Liberia
until forced to flee with the advent of the civil war. She knows the country
and its needs well and still has family living there, giving her a strongly
vested interest in rendering aid and support to Liberia.
Our diverse staff has strong ties to the local community, and thus
possesses the unique ability to relate to our target demographic. Our personnel
in Liberia give us the ability to recognize local needs as they arise and the
capability to respond quickly to situations and needs:
-
Bangalee Jabateh runs our school enrollment
program and nurtures relationships with stakeholders in Liberia. He is
currently studying Public Administration and Economics at the University of
Liberia.
Mohammed Donzo holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology
and Communications and has over six years’ experience in community development
and is part of our team in Liberia.
In addition, the Ri’ayah
Foundation, Inc., currently has 10 volunteers who help us make things
happen.
The combined knowledge and skills of our
staff and volunteers give us the capability to accomplish many of the small
steps needed to get closer to our goals.
