Panta Pride

What Panta Pride does

Panta Pride Foundation is a California-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, originally founded in 2014 as Save More Kids by Quanuquanei A. Karmue and Wendy Karmue and rebranded in 2023, that conducts social impact research and development in the Panta and Zota Districts of Bong County, Liberia. The organization operates a portfolio of programs targeting food insecurity, child welfare, education, and rural healthcare: a 100-acre rice farm in Zota District established in 2025, a rice farm in Garmu serving a village of 7,000, the SMK Agricultural Cooperative for sustainable rice production, Christ Children's Home supporting orphans of the Liberian Civil War (1989-2003), the Period Project for women's health education (since 2015), the PA Marco Scholarship program, and the NFK Medical Center currently under construction. Its programs are described as a "living laboratory" for sustainable rural development in partnership with the Liberian government and local organizations.

The organization's commercial surface is small and primarily exists to support fundraising rather than generate profit. Revenue is driven by individual donations accepted via mail, Cash App, and Venmo, supplemented by an Impact Shop e-commerce storefront on pantapride.org that sells branded apparel (t-shirts at $29.99, hoodies at $44.99, sweatpants at $54.99, hats at $22.99), accessories (tote bags, water bottles, stickers, patches priced $4.99-$34.99), and the WITNESS memoir in print ($21.95) and German e-book formats. The underlying technology is a Squarespace-hosted website with standard e-commerce functionality; no proprietary technology, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on grassroots engagement, the annual Run Liberia Half Marathon event (launched 2021), email newsletters, and a YouTube channel to reach donors globally, while program operations are executed on the ground in Liberia through local staff and partners including Panta Agriculture & Foundation for Women (2024) and historically the International Longshoreman Association (2014 Ebola response).

Direct peers

Its agricultural cooperative model in West Africa directly parallels Panta Pride's SMK Agricultural Cooperative and rice farm operations.
