Jane Wlehdi Togba is a native of Liberia. Togba, a Howard University graduate, who holds a Masters degree in Elementary Education, is changing the way children and their parents experience education, with her interactive and educational enrichment program, FuNation Inc. The idea for FuNation came about while Togba was working as the director of a childcare center. Parents at the center complained about the lack of enrichment programs for students. She then became inspired to create a program that would enrich student learning. Togba “envisioned a nurturing place where children could grow -- physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially. [She] did not believe that education should be taught in a competitive environment. Instead, she imagined an environment filled with the spirit to achieve.”
