About the Foundation

A Liberian charitable organization built on one belief — every child deserves a bright future.

Who We Are

Care, educate, empower, transform — for every child in Liberia.

Mother Evelyn Child-Care Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization established in Liberia to improve the lives of vulnerable children, families, women, youth, and disadvantaged communities.

We are a registered charitable and educational organization, and a not-for-profit corporation — meaning our income and assets are used only to achieve our charitable objectives, never for private gain.

Mission

Protect, nurture and empower vulnerable children

At Mother Evelyn Child-Care Foundation, our mission is to protect, nurture, and empower vulnerable children by providing access to quality education, healthcare, nutrition, shelter, and emotional support. We are committed to creating a safe and caring environment where every child is valued, respected, and given the opportunity to develop their talents, build confidence, and achieve their full potential — regardless of background or circumstance.

Through partnerships with families, communities, volunteers, and supporters, we work to promote the well-being, rights, and long-term development of children, breaking the cycle of poverty and neglect through sustainable, community-rooted programs.

Vision

A world where every child can thrive

We envision a world where every child grows up in a safe, loving, and supportive environment with equal access to quality education, healthcare, nutrition, and opportunities for personal development — protected from neglect, abuse, poverty, and discrimination.

We aspire to be a leading force in advancing child welfare and development, inspiring hope and fostering sustainable solutions that strengthen families and communities, so every child has what they need to thrive and contribute positively to society.
