How School Became a Light to the Community in Liberia
14 years ago,
our school in Liberia was the only school available to a community of over 6,000 people.
For two years, our team provided education to 60 orphans, even without a school building. They taught the children in their homes, and eventually, twelve classrooms were built.
Children learned to read and write in English, the official language in Liberia.
The more they learned, the more their school became a light to the community.
A ministry leader shares—
“We saw kids entering a classroom for the first time in their lives.”
At Lifesong, we stand by a 4-part pledge to the children we serve. The third part of the pledge affirms our commitment to providing quality education to orphaned and vulnerable children to provide a foundation for their future.
Be taught the Gospel and how to live as a follower of Jesus Christ
Not want for food, clothing, medical care, or shelter
Receive a quality education to provide a foundation for their future
Experience continued love and support while transitioning into adult living
Today, our school in Liberia continues to grow.
Students receive a Christian education with classes in health, science, reading, writing, math, and social studies. They also learn to study the Bible. Teachers receive discipleship training and are equipped to share the Gospel with our students.

One of the families our team serves couldn’t afford to send their seven children to school.
Before coming to Lifesong, not a single one of their children had set foot in a school. Now, our campus is like a second home to them. They attend a high-performing school for free and receive breakfast and lunch every day.
By the grace of God, more families are breaking generational cycles of poverty as orphaned and vulnerable children receive an education, a foundation for their future. As our teammates in Liberia explain—
“Education is giving every orphan the chance to succeed.”
