OUR
VISION
The Directors Rev. Mrs. Edna Ametameh and Mr. Isaac
Ametameh want to take the youth off the street and
bring them into vocations that will make them
self-supporting and at the same time help to improve
upon the manpower needs of the country. The couple
are parents of five, and endeavour to impart the
same training and Christian principles to students
as they give to their children. Furthermore, they
try to give their students basic knowledge for
further studies at the Polytechnic Schools and for
self-employment.
OUR SUPPORT
Without Government funding due to its status as a
private school, Liberty Specialist Institute
supports itself through the payment of school fees.
For large scale investment and the development of
infrastructure, the school has been grateful for the
support and funding of several International
Organizations and private individuals.
