Founded in June 2018, by the First Lady of the Republic of Liberia, Clar Hope Foundation is a non-political initiative aspiring to create an equitable society in Liberia where women, children, youth, and the elderly are healthy, educated, and fully empowered to lead an independent and prosperous life.
In order to restore the hope and dignity of the underprivileged, Mrs. Weah embarked on the construction of the City of Hope, a massive modern facility where thousands of less-fortunate Liberians – orphans, street girls, and disadvantaged youth – would find hope for a better and brighter future.
