What We Do

The Liberian Community Association of South Carolina (LCASC) was founded on February 26, 2023, by like-minded people who saw the need to organize a community association in the State of South Carolina. The community association consists of those with a heritage to the West African nation of Liberia, their families and friends who may not have originated from Liberia but reside in the State of South Carolina, United States of America, and are open to the community associations values and culture.

Approximately fifteen of Liberia’s twenty-five presidents were born in the United States.  Liberia’s red, white, and blue national flag is identical to the American one.  It does not, however, have fifty stars—just one. Through the efforts and assistance of the American Colonization Society, former slaves from the United States of America formed Liberia in 1822. Liberia and the United States of America have a strong and long-standing historical relationship.

Our primary aim is to support the well-being of its members, citizens of the State of South Carolina, and the needy people of Liberia. Its vision is “to give hope and build up those around us,” and its mission is “to make a positive impact in the lives of people in need.” Guarded by its vision and mission, LCASC has been organized and established as a social, non-governmental, and not-for-profit humanitarian organization. LCASC aims to help prevent and/or alleviate people’s suffering. As a result, most of the Association’s activities will be centered around searching for the funds and items that it can use to achieve its objective.
