CEIBA VIDA International

What it reported doing in 2025

Liberty Christian Academy is CEIBA VIDAs primary outreach project in Guatemala. We are an all-girls school based in Pamocaa village of San Raymundo, Guatemala. We provide the most vulnerable girls in our area with quality Christian education, nutrition, counseling and family support through a variety of hand-up programs. Our vision is to create a community of strong, independent, service-minded Christian women who are equipped with the education & skills needed to emerge out of abuse and poverty. Our mission is to provide young girls an excellent and challenging educational experienceto help them know, love, and practice what is true and good, while preparing them to live purposefully and intelligently in service to God and their community. We believe education is the ultimate catalyst for life change and therefore, must be approached holistically. Through education, we can invest in our students lives by modeling Christs love for them, and instill an understanding that they are NOT defined by their circumstancesthey are defined by their relationship with God. Liberty Academy is a refuge for healing. We provide students with counseling, a safe place to grow & thrive and a community of people who love them.
