Who We Are

The Liberian Swedish Association (LSA) is a legally registered non-profit, non-political organization based in Sweden, dedicated to supporting the Liberian community in the country. Our headquarters are located in Stockholm, with branches in Gothenburg, Skåne/Malmö, and Norrland. Our diverse membership includes individuals of Liberian descent, Liberians born in Sweden, Swedes, and friends of Liberia. We are committed to bringing together people from these diverse backgrounds to honor and celebrate our shared culture and identity. By promoting Liberian culture, history, and development in Sweden, we aim to foster a strong sense of belonging and community pride among our members.

Mission

The core mission of the Liberian Swedish Association (LSA) is to nurture and educate Liberian descendants born in Sweden by organizing social activities that celebrate traditional Liberian events, such as cultural dances and festivities. LSA also strives to provide support and solidarity to community members during challenging times. Our goal is to promote unity, peace, and social integration among our members, fostering opportunities for communal networking. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment for all Liberians in Sweden, facilitating the establishment of networks and access to essential support systems. Through our diverse structures and platforms, we are committed to addressing the needs and concerns of our community members.

Motto

At the core of LSA's mission is our motto, "Our Community Matters," a powerful slogan that reflects our unwavering commitment to our community members and supporters. Unity, peace, hope, compassion, and empathy are the foundational values that guide all our actions and decisions. Through this motto, we underscore the importance of prioritizing the needs and well-being of our members, ensuring they are always at the forefront of LSA's initiatives. Our goal is to foster an environment of mutual respect, understanding, and collaboration, inspiring our members to work together in building a vibrant and inclusive Liberian community in Sweden.

Logo

The official logo of the Liberian Swedish Association (LSA) encapsulates the essence and identity of our organization. It features two distinct sections that honor the dual heritage of the LSA community. The upper section incorporates elements of the Liberian national flag, while the lower section reflects the Swedish national flag. This design thoughtfully represents the origins of our members and their current place of residence. Crafted with a minimalist Scandinavian approach, the logo emphasizes simplicity, ensuring clear and effective communication of our mission and values.

Our Kids Are Our
Precious
Jewels

The children in our community are invaluable assets who play a vital role in LSA's activities. As future leaders, it's our responsibility to nurture and guide them toward their full potential. We are dedicated to providing support and resources that enable our children to engage in activities that foster growth, learning, and social development. These experiences also help them appreciate the significance of LSA in shaping their future in Sweden.

Children from the LSA community are joyfully participating in a fun day event.

Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.
