People are diverse
and so are our programs.
Universal Outreach stands firmly committed to delivering high-quality educational and economic development opportunities. Our projects and programs are strategically designed to adapt and expand in response to the essential needs of the local community.
Bright Star Scholarship
Give a student a chance
In Liberia, too many capable students are forced to leave school—not because of a lack of ambition, but because of a lack of financial means.
​
Our Scholarship Program exists to change that.
​
We identify students who are committed to learning and give them the opportunity to continue their education. With the support of a scholarship, students can stay in school, complete their education, and build a future that would otherwise be out of reach.
​
This is more than access to education, it’s the foundation for long-term opportunity and economic stability.
Business Development
Program
Business Acumen Means Everything
Nearly 70% of Liberians work as small-scale entrepreneurs—from market stalls to provision shops—yet most lack access to the training and support needed to grow.
​
Universal Outreach is changing that.
Through our “Be Your Own Boss” Business Development Program, we equip start-ups and emerging businesses with the skills, structure, and mentorship needed to succeed. The goal is clear: build stronger businesses that create jobs, increase incomes, and drive economic growth across Liberia.
Small Loans
Program
Access to Capital Builds Business
Training builds strong businesses, but growth requires capital.
In Liberia, access to financing is limited, leaving many capable entrepreneurs unable to expand.
Universal Outreach’s Small Loans Program provides the critical funding needed to unlock that next stage of growth.
​
To date, we’ve provided over $270,000 in loans with a 99% repayment rate, demonstrating both the demand for capital and the responsibility of those we invest in.
​
By investing in entrepreneurs, we’re not just funding businesses—we’re fueling job creation, increasing incomes, and strengthening the economy from the ground up.
Beekeeper Training
Program
Beekeeping Makes Sense
Beekeeping is not just a wise; it is a highly profitable venture. In, the demand for honey is strong, with a reliable buyer ready for every drop produced. Farmers who engage in our beekeeping program acquire a valuable income-generating skill that supports themselves their families, and their communities. This opportunity paves the way for financial stability and freedom, empowering them to effectively meet their financial needs.
Coconut Oil
Production
Economic development gives greater financial stability
For long-term sustainability, economic development must be driven by market forces. After examining various industries, Universal Outreach identified coconut oil production as the ideal candidate for a training program aimed at creating income-generating opportunities for those in need. With plentiful coconut trees and a strong market demand for coconut oil, UOF began exploring strategies to expand this industry. Since 2016, we have collaborated with coconut growers to address challenges, and today, we are actively bringing this vision to fruition.
Surf Tourism
Initiative
Economic development gives greater financial stability
The young people of Robertsport, Liberia, aspire for a brighter future—one where fishing is not their sole employment opportunity. They envision a tomorrow filled with learning, growth, and the chance to connect love for the ocean with a global audience. Promoting tourism also involves caring for natural resources, honing interpersonal skills, and prioritizing community health. Our programs in Robertsport approach tourism in a comprehensive way.
Coffee
Production
Economic development gives greater financial stability
Every new industry development creates the opportunity for new jobs. Liberica is a distinctive bean, yet it represents less than 2% of global coffee production.Liberica is not mass-market coffee — it is story-driven, specialty coffee with the potential to command higher prices and create greater value for farmers and producers. But Liberica’s uniqueness also makes it less forgiving. Roasting it well requires experience, precision, and deep understanding and we're going to do just that.
