Our Projects
Palmfield Community Christian School
Palmfield is an area northwest of Monrovia, the capital of Liberia. It is another very needy area, with the hundreds of school age children in that area having no access or opportunity to attend school. Their needs are great, and Plan for the Children is committed to help fund a school with a breakfast feeding program. This is another great leap of faith and we move ahead, hopeful that wonderful supporters can come along with us; we will rely greatly on each and every one.
Mt. Barclay Community Christian School
Mt. Barclay is a large permanent refugee area outside of Monrovia, capital of Liberia. There are several thousand school age children in that area; most had no opportunity to go to school and there was great need for a school and a feeding program.
Liberia
Brief History: By 1820, many in the United States were strongly opposed to any form of slavery and , more than 110,000 slaves had been granted their freedom. Thomas Jefferson, among others, proposed that freed slaves be returned to Africa, although by then, many of the ex-slaves were generations removed from Africa. The American Colonization Society was formed and a large land area along the Atlantic Ocean in West Africa was identified. The name Liberia was chosen from the Latin word, Libro, meaning “free”. The first ship that returned a group of freed slaves sent to Liberia was named The Mayflower of Liberia.
