What We Do
We make strategic investments in education, leadership development, and policy engagement to drive lasting change.
GPFA-USA creates pathways for women and youth leaders in Liberia and beyond to advance peace, further justice, and drive reconciliation. Together with partners worldwide, the Foundation channels resources, builds bridges, and amplifies voices committed to a more peaceful and equitable future.
Supporting Voices for Peace
GPFA-USA partners with like-minded organizations to strengthen grassroots peace efforts. By collaborating across borders, sharing resources, and amplifying local initiatives, the Foundation helps women and youth leaders make their voices heard and influence positive social change.
Empowering Youth Through Scholarships
GPFA-USA supports youth in accessing quality education and developing leadership skills. These opportunities help young people—especially girls and marginalized youth—reach their potential and prepare to become future leaders in their communities and beyond.
Engaging the African Diaspora
GPFA-USA connects with the African diaspora to build a network of support for education, leadership, and peace initiatives in Liberia and across Africa. By fostering collaboration and sharing resources, the Foundation empowers diaspora communities to play an active role in positive social change.
Note: In 2025, GPFA-USA is embarking on a strategic repositioning to expand its global impact, strengthen partnerships, and accelerate its mission of investing in women and youth as catalysts for peace and sustainable development. The announcement coincides with the appointment of Richelle Todd-Yamoah as the organization’s new Executive Director.
Key elements of the repositioning include expanding strategic partnerships, increasing support for educational and leadership programs, elevating African voices in global policy spaces and deepening donor engagement through transparent and impact storytelling as well as new outreach tools. GPFA-USA also will refresh its brand identity and digital platforms to reflect its expanded scope and priorities.
