Children’s Welfare International (CWI)

Published by Admin

The Children’s Welfare International is a Christian faith-based nonprofit organization  founded   in the state of Washington in order to provide social services to children in  Liberia. Our primary focus is  to  protect and  support  the abandoned, abused, underprivileged and former child soldiers who are currently living  in the streets of Liberia. CWI seeks to create a more just social order by removing inequalities and  promoting a full and fair access to basic needs and rights.

The Mission of CWI

 The mission of CWI is to improve  the welfare of each child, especially the
orphaned, abused and abandoned children in Liberia by providing a center where they can heal, be nourished, attend school and grow to become healthy and productive citizens of their society.

 As part of our  Christian principles, CWI is committed to defending the weak and  orphans in fulfillment of the teaching of God’s words
( Psalm 82:3).

By this we protect and provide counseling to   children who are  subject to abusive situations.

At CWI, each child has a future regardless of  religion, nationality, ethnicity, or cultural background.

We are also proud to be a member of the Child Rights Information Network (CRIN).

Our guiding principle


CWI believes that all children and their families ought to be protected, supported, empowered and be afforded the opportunity to reach their fullest prospective and to live lives free of violence and abuse; and that services should be both community-based and child-centered.
