For more than three decades, survivors of Liberia’s civil war have carried invisible wounds — memories of loss, displacement, and silence.
Today, the LUMASA Foundation is leading a national effort to break that silence through advocacy and awareness campaigns designed to promote justice, education, and remembrance.

Through public dialogues, survivor testimonies, and partnerships with civil society, LUMASA is working to ensure that the stories of victims are not forgotten and that new generations understand the importance of peace and accountability.

One of the key objectives of the foundation’s advocacy is to push for the implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) recommendations, calling for justice and reparations for victims of war crimes.

“Our mission is not only to remember the past, but to shape a future built on truth and dignity,” says the LUMASA coordination team.

As part of its awareness work, the organization develops educational materials, organizes community forums, and collaborates with schools and churches to share lessons from Liberia’s tragic past — ensuring that such atrocities are never repeated.

By transforming memory into action, LUMASA hopes to rebuild trust and create a culture of peace that honors those who lost their lives and those still fighting for recognition.
