OUR WORK

STEM  in Technical vocational Education and training

Our Work

Our work is driven by the urgent need to transform Liberia’s education system, still impacted by civil conflict, by complementing the efforts of the Ministry of Education in addressing issues such as skills gaps, poverty, poor educational infrastructure, teacher shortages, and limited access to science and technology. We promote workforce development and career pathways for future scientists, technicians, and innovators, encouraging youth to become creators and builders and problem-solvers who strengthen the workforce and contribute to Africa’s industrial growth and export capacity. The organization focuses on inclusive, employment-driven, and sustainable STEM-oriented TVET development through eight strategic program areas.

 

STEM-BASED TVET COMMUNITY SENSITIZATION

LESSAT-Africa promotes STEM and TVET learning through community outreach, interactive education, storytelling, and hands-on activities, fostering skills training, workforce development, and sustainable growth.

Support the Cause

EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT

LESSAT-Africa constructs and upgrades schools, science laboratories, technical workshops, electrical systems, and trail bridges while restoring critical infrastructure during natural disasters and emergencies.

Support the Cause

CLIMATE ADAPTATION AND DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

LESSAT-Africa builds climate-resilient communities through environmental education, climate adaptation, sustainable resource management, and disaster preparedness while restoring critical infrastructure.

Support the Cause

INNOVATION, IDEATION, EXHIBITION & AWARDS

We promote innovation and creativity in Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) and Vocational Education and Training (VET), while providing small grants to support ideas.

Support the Cause

LESSAT-Africa invites potential partners to collaborate in strengthening STEM education and TVET systems in Liberia and across Africa through skills development, innovation, and workforce readiness programs. The network brings together educators, school leaders, librarians, and community partners to share knowledge, build skills, develop practical projects, and strengthen leadership in innovative STEM education.
