Located in West Africa between the Ivory Coast and Sierra Leon,  Liberia is one of the poorest countries on the planet.   

 

The Universal Outreach Community has been working in Liberia for over 20 years busy providing clean drinking water, developing new industries, building schools all to help create a more equitable world.  Today we speak to founders Kent Bubb’s and his son Kent Jr. along with his partner Landis Wyatt.

Universal Outreach believes that education and economic development gives people the skills and opportunities they need to build the future they envision.

We take action by working with Liberians in West Africa, who are focused on creating a better future for themselves. We collaborate with people to identify economic opportunities and invest in educational pursuits to achieve these goals. 

This means we invest your donations into skills training programs, scholarships, business development programs, creative learning opportunities and support for niche industry development. In turn, Liberians have the chance to realize their goals, develop financial independence and create valuable niche industries that support the local economy.

Surf  Tourism at Robertsport:

The youth of Robertsport, Liberia want a better tomorrow. A tomorrow where fishing isn't their only option for employment. A tomorrow where they learn, grow and share their passion for the ocean with a global community.

Universal Outreach—in partnership with dedicated organizations, individuals and the Robertsport Surf Club—is embarking on an economic development initiative to create a hub for all surf and ocean-bound activities. Together, we can ensure sustainable surf tourism is a reality on the beaches and waves of this seaside community.

Help Us Take Action!  Liberia is one of the world's poorest countries, but you can help change this. Please give someone an opportunity to build their future by investing in our programs
