What We Do
Providing for the needs of the whole child - educational, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual
Children attend school 5 days per week. They receive a quality education, a nutritious meal, clean drinking water, and interactive bible lessons where they learn and experience God’s great love for them.
Our schools are not only a place of learning, they are a safe and welcoming place of belonging.
Students can stay after school for tutoring and other activities such as choir or leadership. Children from the community who attend other schools sometimes come for help with their homework.
Our Schools
We have two schools located in Paynesville near the capital city of Monrovia.
ELWA Community School
This school is located in the ELWA community. Many children in this community do not go to school. Some children stay home to take care of younger siblings; others work to help their families earn enough money to survive day to day.
One source of income is breaking rocks into small pieces that are sold to cement and construction companies. The work is exhausting and dangerous.
Instead of sending their children to the rock quarry to earn enough money to feed the family for the day, parents can provide for their children by sending them to school where they can learn and have a nutritious meal five days per week.
Omega Community School
We sometimes call this school the Coca-Cola school because there is a Coca-Cola factory on the main road! Omega Community School was started to help children who were living in a large, burned out, multi-story cement building that was destroyed during the war.
The families living in the building were the poorest of the poor. Many families in this community struggle to find consistent work and have a difficult time providing for their children’s most basic needs.
The school provides a safe place for the children in this community to learn and have a nutritious meal 5 days per week.
Omega Community School Building Project
We are building a new cement school to replace the current thatched wall school.
The classrooms in the thatched wall school are hot, dark, and noisy.
The new school will provide a better learning environment that has more light and space.
It will also provide protection from the heat and rain.
Transforming Communities
Experience has shown that if we can reach the children, a transformative work will begin in the community. Families get to see firsthand the amazing change that is happening in their children. We literally are changing Liberia one child at a time.
