Conscience International Liberia (CIL) was established in September 2011 as an affiliate organization of Conscience International (CI) based in The Gambia. CIL takes a human rights based approach to address development issues affecting the communities we serve, believing that all individuals have the right to live with dignity through the attainment of basic needs and the ability to exercise political, cultural and social freedoms. We don’t give aid; we create change, empowering communities to stand up for their rights. We work with marginalized communities at a local and national level through both programme implementation and advocacy efforts, supporting the mandate that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”
