Monrovia, Liberia – The National Custom Brokers Association President James L. Hinneh has reaffirmed his commitment to youth empowerment by supporting the Progressive Youth for Positive Change (PYPC) Financial Aid and Scholarship Fundraising Program, an initiative aimed at returning 300 disadvantaged young people to school.
Speaking during the fundraising program at St. Paul’s Bridge, District #16, Hinneh emphasized that humanitarian service should transcend political affiliation, geography, and district boundaries. He noted that meaningful leadership requires responding wherever there is a genuine need.
As part of his support, Hinneh pledged L$100,000, which is scheduled to be presented on Monday, and made an immediate contribution of US$100 during the event. He also recalled donating to the same scholarship initiative last year, reaffirming his continued dedication to expanding educational opportunities for Liberia’s youth.
Beyond Montserrado County, Hinneh highlighted the broader humanitarian work carried out through his foundation. He disclosed that in Pleebo, Maryland County, the foundation distributed more than 3,000 gift items to women, children, and men as part of its outreach efforts.
According to Hinneh, supporting education and humanitarian initiatives is about creating opportunities, investing in people, and helping build a Liberia where every young person has access to quality education and the chance to reach their full potential.
He stressed that while individual contributions may vary, the collective goal remains the same: empowering communities, improving lives, and ensuring that the impact of humanitarian service reaches every corner of the country.
