The Liberian United Women in Progress (LUWIP) was founded in 2000 by a group of strong and promising Liberian women who share a passion for promoting and supporting young Liberian women. LUWIP is a not-for-profit and non-political organization that has maintained a tradition for the past five years of empowering Liberian women to achieve their personal and professional goals, while providing a forum for them to express their opinions, talents, and intelligence. LUWIP is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Their mission is to raise funds for the purchase of life’s basic necessities such as food, clothing, shelter, and medicine for our unfortunate loved ones. We also strive to promote the awareness to other international organizations of the plight of our people. More so, LUWIP serves as a beacon to promote moral values by encouraging women to pursue education, self-empowerment, and improving their standard of living.

The LUWIP Organization is the official sponsors of the Official Miss Liberia in the US Pageant.
