The International Children’s Fund has partnered with Great Commission Victory Ministries International to introduce Victory University for Women, a women’s university in Liberia committed to transforming lives through education. On six acres in Sewebgeh Township, the Victory University for Women broke ground on August 1, 2021.

In 2022, Liberia ranked 161st in gender equality, among the lowest five globally, with the largest factor being very low secondary education rates for women compared to men. This university represents a pivotal shift in educational opportunities for women in a country plagued by gender disparities in education.

Traditionally, girls in Liberia have been confined to roles that limit their potential. Our university aims to redefine these roles, offering women the choice and means to shape their own futures through education. Scheduled to open with the capacity to serve up to 3,000 students, Victory University will offer diverse career opportunities, qualified certificates, diplomas, and degree programs in all major fields of study including science, business, art, sports, nursing, leadership, and theology. Our goal is to equip these young women with the necessary skills to succeed and lead in their communities, breaking the cycle of poverty and contributing to a more prosperous Liberia.

The Women’s University project is progressing steadily but still requires significant resources to be fully completed. The focus is currently on interior construction and finishing, with an official building walk-through scheduled between October and November 2025. Total construction progress is approximately 85% complete.

Project Highlights:

-Plastering work is nearly finished

-The ceiling structure has been installed, with final board installation underway

-The first layer of painting is being applied throughout the facility

-First-floor windows are currently being fabricated locally

With just $155,415 needed to reach full completion, the project is on track for an August 2026 grand opening.
