2025 Lenten Offering

Educating Caldwell Road Liberia (formerly Liberia Educational Foundation School)

MISSION:  Empower the Community of Caldwell Road, Liberia, through quality education for all children. The Caldwell Road School came into existence by faith in 1995; and continues to thrive by prayers and hard work. The current school is housed in a small home that the Educational Foundation purchased. The school serves 100 students, preschool to eighth grade, who might not get an education without its existence. The school building is not sufficient to meet the growing needs -it floods during the raining season and becomes unsanitary, lacks indoor plumbing and bathrooms, and is too small for the student body. For the past two years, with support from Mount Olivet and others, a new modern school is being built which will serve more students in an environment more suited for learning. The foundation for the  school building has been laid and construction is underway to build more classrooms, a mini medical clinic, a multi-purpose room, and indoor bathrooms.

Your generous contribution during this Lenten Season will be an answer to prayers to complete this important building for the Caldwell Road students. ‍
