Development Education Network-Liberia (DEN-L) is a national non-governmental, non-partisan, and non-profit organization.
Also an offshoot of the work of the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS), an organization within the Catholic Church. JRS supported the work of Sr. Miriam Therese O’Brien (a Catholic Sister from Ireland) in Liberia through the Catholic Diocese of Gbarnga based on the request of Bishop Benedict D. Sekey.
Sr. Miriam initially worked with a team of Liberians to run Development Education and Leadership Teams in Action (DELTA) training with lay people in the Diocese to increase local people’s involvement in the development of the church.
