Management of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), through its Region Two Office, has donated two brand-new wheelchairs to physically challenged students enrolled at the Grand Kru Technical College. This gesture forms part of the Authority’s ongoing commitment to promoting inclusivity, enhancing mobility, and supporting access to education for persons living with disabilities across Liberia. The donation underscores the NLA’s broader social responsibility and its targeted education empowerment programs aimed at improving the welfare and academic experiences of physically challenged students. By addressing mobility challenges, the Authority seeks to create a more enabling environment that allows beneficiaries to actively participate in academic activities and pursue their educational aspirations with dignity and confidence. Speaking during the presentation on behalf of the NLA’s Management, the Authority’s Region Two Assistant Director, Mr. Ateo W. Seebo emphasized that the initiative aligns with the Authority’s vision of fostering equal opportunities for all Liberians, regardless of physical limitations. “Education is a fundamental right, and no individual should be hindered from achieving their dreams due to mobility constraints. This donation is a demonstration of our continued commitment to supporting vulnerable groups and ensuring that they remain in school and succeed,” Mr. Seebo noted.
In December 2025, the Management of the National Lottery Authority through the Deputy Director General for Operations, Hon. Christian K. Cooper donated wheelchairs to several physically challenged students enrolled at the William V.S Tubman University in MaryLand and Grand Gedeh Community Colleges under the NLA Education Empowerment Program.
The NLA EEP Protect is aimed at paying the registration fees and providing financial aids to students living with disabilities who are enrolled at various public Universities and Community Colleges across the country to sustain them in school.
Meanwhile, the Administration of Grand Kru Technical College expressed profound appreciation to the National Lottery Authority for the timely intervention, describing the donation as both impactful and transformative. According to the college’s leadership, the wheelchairs will significantly ease the daily movement of the beneficiaries on campus, thereby improving their attendance, participation, and overall academic performance.
Beneficiaries of the donation, Students Thomas Doe and Joseph K.G. Nyugba of the Grand Kru Technical college conveyed heartfelt gratitude to the NLA, noting that the support will not only enhance their physical mobility but also boost their morale and determination to excel in their studies.
The National Lottery Authority remains steadfast in its mission to contribute meaningfully to national development through strategic social interventions. The Authority assures the public of its continued dedication to initiatives that uplift disadvantaged communities, promote education, and empower all citizens to reach their full potential.
