Mission statement:	The African Child Peace Initiative (ACPI) is a youth-led secular, non-tribal, non-political, non-governmental peace and community development organization dedicated to creating a better future for the children and young people in post-war Liberia through our youth friendly community development and peacebuilding programmes. Our goal is to educate young Liberians, their immediate concern and their communities in order to nurture the development of responsible, peaceful, healthy and productive citizens, helping to alleviate poverty at the grass-root. We are working with Liberian youth affected by the civil war - especially the children - and young women working with children. ACPI recognizes African youth as an important resource that can contribute its energy, idealism, and insight to the community¿s stability, growth and progress. ACPI focuses on the provision of skill training programs to young people and their caregivers with a view to developing sustainable livelihoods.
