Mission Trip

Mission & Vision Trip to Liberia

CELDI is a children and youth development organization that has many partners, donors and friends around the world, especially in the US. In order to solidify its cherished relationships and expand its network, CELDI welcomes its donors, partners and friends with the opportunity to come and experience life in Liberia in different ways, either on a mission or a vision trip.

A vision trip to Liberia provides the opportunity for one to see, feel and hear about the needs of our kids, communities, and how God is using CELDI to make the difference in the lives of over 900 underprivileged kids and youths in Liberia. On the other hand, a mission trip provides the opportunity for people to serve, experience, and impact our kids and communities in different ways as they may be led by their passion or the Holy Spirit—God.
