The Evangelical Children Rehabilitation Program (ECREP) is a local non-governmental organization established in August 2003 during the heart of the crisis in Liberia,(commonly known as world war 1, 2& 3) when men ,women and children were brutalized, and killed in cold blood. Mostly discouragingly, children became vulnerable, lost their childhood right of protection and care and were forced to either join the fighting forces or roam the streets in search of protection and security. Consequently, their future became bleak and hopeless. It is against this background that the vision to establish an organization to cater to the holistic needs of the children was seen. Hence, on August 16, 2003, this vision was born and a Board of Directors comprising of seven persons was formed to provide support and guidance in the implementation of the organization’s vision.
Since 2003 to date ECREP has been providing humanitarian services in most parts of Liberia involving rehabilitation, reconstruction and development services benefiting more than 100,000 men, women and children in nine of the fifteen political sub-divisions of Liberia; namely, Montserrado, Grand Gedeh, Grand Bassa, Grand cape Mount, Margi, Rivercess, Maryland, Sinoe and Nimba Counties.
Vision: ECREP envisages a peaceful, safe and healthy environment where high qualities of life for the children are exhibited.

Core Value: Love, Accountability, justice, Indiscrimination and Environmental protection
