What is Child Development Liberia?
A Brief History
Peninsula Bible Church Cupertino has been connected with Liberia for over 20 years, and started partnering with these schools in 2011. Over the years the partnership has changed and developed into Child Development Liberia (CDL) today. At the heart of CDL, is Robert Sondah, a local Liberian passionate about providing children with an education and exposing them to the transformative love of God. Robert has set the vision for CDL and worked hard to build a solid team of teachers and supporters to reach the children in the school communities.
What Do We Do
CDL has two schools located in Paynesville, Liberia that are in the middle of very materially poor communities. The schools provide for the needs of the whole child - educational, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual.
Quality Education
Children from preschool to high school receive an education from teachers who truly care about their students.
Nutritious Meals
Every student receives a nutritious meal each day.
Spiritual Growth
Students experience God's love through Bible lessons and worshipping together.
Clean Water
Each campus has clean drinking water that is available to students and the surrounding community.
