Operation Classroom is a non-profit organization that partners with the United Methodist Church in Liberia and Sierra Leone in an effort to empower the people to rise out of poverty through education.

Operation Classroom has provided thousands of scholarships that have allowed students who would otherwise be unable to attend school to get an education. We have shipped nearly 100 containers of school and medical supplies to these two countries during the war years and the Ebola crisis. We’ve sponsored Volunteer in Mission Teams that have provided the opportunity for hundreds and hundreds of Americans to have “hands-on” experience in mission.

We believe that simply providing for a people fails to address the root cause of the poverty puzzle. It is the behaviors, social systems and mindset that create poverty. The key to ending poverty lies in the capacity of a people to change their views and perspectives so that they can facilitate change and engage in productive enterprise. We help young men and women in Liberia and Sierra Leone to gain an education that alters their perspective of what is possible.
