ABOUT US
The possibilities are endless for a child that has a pencil in one hand and paper in the other. They can dream of anything. Just a little can ignite a spark, a flame that can change the world. Pass the flame to them through a small gift of a pencil and paper. Something as small and cheap as a pencil that we take for granted, that child sees it as a tool to complete their education. Let us pass the flame to the next generation.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to support schools, staff, students, and communities worldwide by supplying the necessary means to facilitate sustainable and prosperous school systems. "It takes a village to raise a child" is an old African proverb that still connects with us today. No matter where you are, you still need the support of your family and community; we make sure to emphasize that by making connections with communities and schools to make sure that they have the means to support each other and, ultimately, their youth.

Future Change
After MARDEC and Counties United went dormant, Praise and Janjay knew that the issue of education in Liberia was still fresh in their minds, so they merged the two projects into one and legalized Future Change.
What Comes Next
Right now, Future Change hopes to help as many students around the world as possible to obtain quality education starting with Liberia.
