We uplift & empower the people of Liberia
We uplift and empower the people of Liberia by meeting essential needs and unlocking opportunities through education, all to inspire change and transform lives.
by meeting both immediate needs and long-term opportunities.
We believe that education and basic necessities go hand in hand—you can’t learn if essential needs aren’t met, and providing essentials without education doesn’t create lasting impact.
That is why
we are committed to creating lasting change
100% of proceeds from our store support our programs in Africa.
We accept essential items such as clothing, school supplies, and hygiene products.

What sets Comfort The Nation apart is our deeply personal connection to the communities we serve. Our founder, Comfort Beene, is from Liberia and her family lived through the country’s civil war and refugee crisis firsthand. This isn’t charity from a distance—it’s a mission rooted in lived experience, love, and legacy. Every dollar goes directly to trusted family and community members on the ground, ensuring food, supplies, and support reach those who need it most. There is no middleman, no confusion—just direct, life-changing impact. Comfort visits Liberia annually to personally connect with the people we serve, and her story is the heartbeat of this mission. We invite you to read more about Comfort’s journey and why this work means so much to her—and to all of us.
Why Support Us?
Comfort Beene, the heart behind Comfort The Nation, grew up witnessing both the struggles and the beauty of her community in Liberia. Her experiences shaped her desire to give back and create lasting change. Driven by her faith and deep love for others, Comfort started this organization to uplift those in need, provide resources for growth, and bring a sense of hope and light to every life she touches.
Since 2014 we have been fundraising to empower & change lives for the people of Liberia.
Comfort The Nation is currently in the process of securing official 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. This is a major step forward that will allow us to expand our reach, access more funding opportunities, and provide tax-deductible benefits to our generous donors. We believe that becoming a recognized nonprofit is essential to achieving the greatest possible impact in Liberia and beyond.
To ensure that we are completing this process with integrity and excellence, we’ve assembled a team of professionals to guide us:
Pat Gibert, Attorney at Law — A lawyer specializing in nonprofit law, Pat is leading the preparation and filing of our 501(c)(3) paperwork. (We have every hope that we will be accepted and legally recognized as a non-profit by August 2025) He is also consulting us on best practices for board governance, bylaws, compliance, and long-term legal structure.
Liz Kinsfather, Kinsfather Consulting — A nonprofit specialist, Liz took our first initial steps by filing our preliminary paperwork, advising us through the operational and strategic aspects of forming and running a mission-driven nonprofit. Her insight is helping us build a solid foundation for growth and sustainability.
This journey requires a significant upfront investment of both time and money. Filing fees, legal consultations, and compliance planning come at a cost of several thousand dollars, which we are actively fundraising to cover. PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO THIS CAUSE TODAY! It’s also been a labor of love for our board members, who are working hard behind the scenes to bring this vision to life.
We want to be fully transparent:
At this time, donations are not yet tax-deductible. We are waiting for our official IRS designation and will share updates as soon as it is approved.
In the meantime, your support still makes a powerful impact. Every donation goes directly toward our mission of uplifting and empowering the people of Liberia. We are committed to transparency, accountability, and keeping our community informed every step of the way.
Thank you for standing with us on this journey. Together, we are building something that will serve many — now and for years to come.
