Story

While traveling on a medical mission to Liberia in 1961, Mrs. Gussie Hingson, wife of BBF founder Dr. Robert Hingson, noticed a lack of educational materials in many, if not all, of their schools. As a result of this trip, BBFs Education Program was formed and the first collection of 100,000 school textbooks were sent to Liberia in 1962.

The program has since grown to not only provide donated educational materials, but we also work with local communities to help repair schools damaged by hurricanes and other natural calamities such as earthquakes. In 2022, with the help of our partners, some of BBFs Education Programs included: donating educational materials, installing solar panels on schools, and funding a computer lab in Ghana; supporting ophthalmology education in Malawi; supporting computer programming skill program in Zimbabwe; and a teacher training initiative in Haiti.

With your donation, Brother's Brother Foundation can continue to provide educational resources to foster a holistic learning experience for children across the globe.
