Today, the Hope Rising Heart Initiative (HRHI) proudly presented Certificates of Appreciation to our dedicated facilitators and keynote speaker from the National Emerging Public Health Students Conference 2025 — in recognition of their invaluable contributions to empowering the next generation of public health professionals in Liberia.

Earlier in July 2025, we successfully hosted the first-ever National Conference for Emerging Public Health Students, bringing together nearly 100 public health students from various higher learning institutions alongside seasoned public health professionals and national stakeholders. The event served as a platform to promote knowledge sharing, skill development, mentorship, and collaboration between emerging and experienced professionals.

Our facilitators played an instrumental role in making this vision a reality — generously sharing their expertise, experiences, and insights with our participants. Their impact was deeply felt throughout the conference.

Upon receiving their certificates, each facilitator expressed excitement and appreciation, and most importantly, renewed their commitment to continue working with HRHI to make the next edition of the conference even greater.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who contributed to this milestone in advancing public health leadership and education in Liberia. Together, we are building a stronger, healthier future for all.

Capacity Building Success!

Last week, three of our staff successfully completed a week-long Capacity Building Training in Project Management, Monitoring & Evaluation, Financial Management, Gender Transformative Strategies, Safeguarding, and Institutional Leadership & Governance.

The training, held in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County, was organized by ActionAid Liberia with support from Plan International as part of an institutional capacity-building project funded by the Global Fund. The initiative brought together 30 carefully selected CSOs and CBOs from across the country.

We are honored to have participated and are excited to apply the knowledge and skills gained to strengthen our interventions and impact within the communities we serve.

A heartfelt thank you to ActionAid Liberia and Plan International for this valuable opportunity to grow and learn!

Hope Rising Heart Initiative (HRHI) Joins the National “Say No to Drugs” Campaign

As institution dedicated to improving health, education, and overall well-being among youth, school-going children, and underserved communities across Liberia, we proudly join the National Campaign against Drug Abuse.

Drug abuse is not just a personal choice—it is a public health crisis, a community emergency, and a national tragedy. It is dismantling the future of our young people, eroding the gains of development, and widening the gap in health, education, and opportunity—especially among Liberia’s most vulnerable populations.

As an organization that walks daily with children in classrooms, youth in slum communities, and families in forgotten corners of Liberia, we cannot be silent. We see the danger. We feel the urgency. We rise with purpose.

Why We Say NO to Drugs

✅Because every child deserves to grow in a safe and drug-free environment.

✅Because addiction is a disease that requires compassion, intervention, and prevention—not stigma.

✅Because the cost of inaction is too high—lost lives, shattered dreams, and broken communities.

✅Because good health and quality education are not possible in the grip of addiction.

We believe in a Liberia where children can learn, youth can lead, and communities can thrive—free from the chains of drug abuse.

This fight is about public health, social justice, and national survival. Drug abuse must be addressed not only through law enforcement, but through education, awareness, rehabilitation, mental health care, and economic inclusion.

Together, we rise. Together, we act. Together, we say: NO TO DRUGS
