Our Chapters

The Center for Education and Leadership Development Initiative, Liberia (CELDI-Liberia) is a children, youth, and young adult development organization that focuses on the educational, leadership, Christian spiritual, and social developments of underprivileged children, youth, and young adults from slum communities in Liberia. We seek to provide interventions in education because a “significant number of children drop out of school before finishing primary school and those who do graduate are often promoted to the next grade without the skills and learning needed for continued success. This has resulted in high rates of underachievement, low self-esteem, less interest in education, and high drop-out rates within our target communities.”

Also, we are providing interventions in leadership development for young and emerging leaders because in any organization or group, everything rises and fall on leadership. However, our interventions are not just in leadership development but SERVANT-LEADERSHIP development. We believe in this style of leadership because leaders by default, have immunities that followers don’t have. As such, if we raise leaders who would learn how to put others or their followers first in the way they lead, we will have a better society and country, especially in Africa-Liberia.

To achieve the above, we designed our activities into chapters and programs. The chapters are designed to work with schools’ divisions (Elementary& Junior High Chapter, High School Chapter, and the College Chapter).
