Books Before Bike (B3) Program
Protecting Liberia’s Young Minds from a
Future Cut Short
Across
Liberia, many motorbike riders are school dropouts—forced to abandon their
education to support their families. Poverty pushes them toward quick income
over long-term growth. WAEC and Ministry of Education data show a sharp decline
in male secondary school enrollment, with more females now graduating than
males—an alarming trend for Liberia’s future.
The
biggest barrier is the hidden cost of education—uniforms, books, fees, and
transportation—which traps these young men in a cycle where limited education
means limited opportunity, and poverty persists.
Books
Before Bike (B3) is our targeted solution: Keep boys in
school by covering essential learning materials and hidden costs; build skills
before income through vocational training before bike-riding becomes a
livelihood; and inspire them to become agents of positive change.
We
focus on young men aged 15–30 currently riding commercial bikes or at risk of
dropping out—helping them return to education, gain skills, and achieve
self-reliance.
When
boys complete their education, they not only change their own lives—they
strengthen Liberia. Educated young men are more employable, start businesses,
create jobs, make informed civic decisions, and become role models who raise
children that value learning, fostering safer and more prosperous communities.
