our founders

Kolegar and Marie Sehkar are the Founders of Redeemed Hope International. As natives of Liberia, they experienced firsthand the realities of the civil war that devasted the country. During this difficult period Kolegar and Marie sought refuge in counties within Liberia and finally moved to the United States. 

As Liberia continues on its road to recovery, the Sehkar family feels a strong commitment and need to give back to their home country because they know the social and economic issue all too well.
