Our Story

From a small mud house in Gbarga City to transforming lives across Liberia. This is the story of faith, hope, and the power of one person's dream to change a nation.

"What if an organization existed that didn't just feed kids for a day, but gave them a Church, a home, a school, a clinic, and a farm so they could feed themselves for life?"

— Siah Yamasu, Founder

The Dreamer

Siah Yamasu was born in Gbarnga City, Bong County, into a family that didn't know God. Her journey began at age 14 when a childhood friend took her to church for the first time. From that moment, she became a Christian.

Growing up in Africa, where children have no say and elders are always right, Siah faced countless fruitless attempts to convince her parents and siblings to attend church. But she never gave up. Instead, she began gathering children in the evenings, telling them Bible stories under the moonlight, nurturing their spiritual and social development.

"She was the only one in her family who believed in God, but she believed with all her heart that transformation was possible."

The Turning Point

One faithful night changed everything. One story of loss and hopelessness became the catalyst for a dream that would transform thousands of lives.

Reuben Rufus Mulbah's Story

One night, while listening to Mr Mulbah, a street child, tell his story, Siah's heart was forever changed. Mr Mulbah spoke of how civil war loss and Ebola orphanhood had left him homeless, sleeping in market straw, taking drugs to forget his worries.

"It was that moment that gave birth to this dream, now a testament of reality."

Before dawn, Siah sketched a dream on the ground with her thoughts and imagination, asking the question that would become the foundation's guiding vision.

Our Journey

From a dream sketched on the ground to a foundation transforming lives across Liberia. This is our timeline of faith, perseverance, and miraculous provision.

The Foundation is Born

Liv Foundation was born on the back porch of a small mud house in Gbarnga City. Siah began gathering children for Bible stories under the moonlight.

The Miracle Provision

Siah's father passed away while she was in the United States. She sold her house in Liberia and made a vow to God: if the house sold in time for a befitting burial, she would build a church and orphanage with the remaining proceeds.

"The unthinkable happened. The house sold in time."

Today

Dreams Becoming Reality

By the grace of God and the help of a Kingdom financier, destiny helper, and family, we can see the dreams and vision coming to pass. A testament to faith and divine provision.

Our Foundation

Built on faith, sustained by hope, and driven by love. Our foundation stands on the principles that transformed a small dream into a movement changing lives across Liberia.

Faith

Our foundation is built on unwavering faith in God's provision and timing. Every step of our journey has been guided by prayer and trust in divine intervention.

Love

Every action is motivated by love for our brothers and sisters in Liberia. We believe that love transforms not just individual lives, but entire communities.

Action

We believe faith without works is dead. Every dream is accompanied by action, every vision by implementation, creating tangible change in people's lives.

Why "Liv Grosser"?

The name LIV Foundation was not chosen because it is short or easy to pronounce in every local dialect. It is not because it sounds like the English word "LIVE."

It is an embodiment of the legacy of a servant of God, our mother, a wife, sister and caregiver who worked her entire life in the mission field of kingdom building, changing the lives of children around the world, bringing hope to the hopeless and less fortunate.

"This is our way of upholding her legacy in Liberia."
