CELDI-Liberia operates an After-school Program that addresses the educational, spiritual, and social needs of underprivileged children from the slum communities of Fiamah, Matadii, Sinkor, and Old Road. This program runs for 10 months every academic year. Since the program began in September 2016, it has catered to over 1,500 children.
To effectively serve the needs of the children, CELDI hired Student Mentors and Camp Counsellors. The Student Mentors are smart, intelligent, and respectful high school students or graduates, hired to assist the Camp Counsellors in mentoring children at CELDI-Liberia and within the communities after camp hours.
During CELDI-Liberia's After-school program, we offer quality homework and tutorial support, along with one nutritious, homemade meal between school and classes, focusing on reading, phonics, Bible study, character development, and leadership development. This program is unique in Liberia, and God is using it to raise a new generation of Christian scholars and servant-leaders in the country.
It costs CELDI-Liberia $12,000 to effectively run and manage an After-school program of 75-100 underprivileged children every year.
