Mission and vision

A Liberia where every young person can thrive

Our long-term ambition

A network of community-rooted schools across Liberia

CEF envisions schools and learning centers that combine quality education with practical skills, technology, entrepreneurship and community development.

Our ambition is to help young people move beyond examination-based learning to become independent thinkers, skilled professionals, entrepreneurs and active contributors to society.

A young person's circumstances should not determine their future. With the right education, skills, resources and opportunities, young people can transform their lives and strengthen their communities.

Start small, start now, and build solutions with the people who need them most.

The principle that guides CEF

Help a young person learn, build skills and thrive.
