Petals of Hope International Girls Academy (PHI) was established in 2017 as the educational arm of CenterPoint International, a Christian non-governmental organization founded by a Liberian Educator, Tony Weedor, and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Fahn Weedor, Author and International Speaker. Elizabeth, who is the founder and Executive Director of the school, obtained her early education through the courageous and financial assistance of her dearest grandmother, Madame Maima Kai. Ma Maima, as commonly called, stood fearlessly against a male-dominant society to make education a priority for her granddaughters and was a dedicated advocate for women in her district. Today, Elizabeth is benefiting from her grandmother’s determination to give girls an education. As a result of her grandmother’s bold stance on impacting women and girls in her own culture and village, Elizabeth is devoted to do likewise for girls and women who find themselves in similar traditional practices and worldviews in Liberia and hopes to extend to other parts of Africa.
