OUR MISSION
Our Mission is to provide an exciting, safe and structured atmosphere for children and young adults offering the highest standard of programming for their education and enrichment. We are committed to ensuring that our programming is accessible to all including the underprivileged.
OUR HISTORY
The family home of Marie Josephine Clarke, a lawyer and educator was abandoned and mistreated for fourteen years due to the country’s civil war. In 2005, Shoana Cachelle, grandchild of Marie Josephine, had a vision for the house in all of its wreckage and decided to revitalize the space. In August of 2012, Cachelle International Creative Arts Center was founded in honor of her late grandmother, Marie Josephine Clarke, whose legacy lives on through the dreams of her granddaughter.

Art and Music Supplies
Our programs have a heavy concentration in art and music. The children absolutely love making a variety of crafts. Therefore we are constantly running out of paints, paper, glue, markers, etc... Music class is also exciting but after a while, the bells, drums, scarves, shakers, and other instruments need to be replaced.
02/
School Van
Many of our teachers and students travel long distances to get to school. A van would really be a blessing and would allow us to include individuals from more communities.
03/
Scholarships
Each year we offer multiple scholarships to students because of our donors. These scholarships allow students to attend Preschool, Summer Camp, and our Adult Literacy Program. Each scholarship truly transform many lives.

Summer Camp Series
Character Building Camps
In an effort to reach out to more local Liberian children, Cachelle International launched a camp formed to motivate, educate, and uplift the youth of Liberia. With the help of supporters, these camps will be held throughout the year on some weekends and during the week in the summer. The Lord has blessed us with such a beautiful center and it will be used for God’s work.
Afterschool Program
We collaborate with schools, organizations, and agencies to bring tutoring and quality arts education into the community.
The Youth Employment Program
This program prepares teens and young adults for their work lives by training and employing them to mentor younger students, assist teaching staff, and serve in many administrative capacities.
Scholarship Program
This provides financial assistance to children from low-income families desiring to attend any of the on-site programs based on their academic status.
