Located in the heart of Nimba County, Liberia, Saclepea (sometimes spelled “saglelpie” on world maps) was a town of more than 12,000 citizens in 2008.

Rainy season generally lasts from May through September, and the rest of the year is dry, hot, and dusty, with average daytime temperatures in the nineties Fahrenheit (32-37 °C).

Local industries include: +Saclepea has a very active Women’s Center whose mission is to increase awareness of and decrease instances of gender-based violence.

In 2010, Saclepea hosted the first in a series of teacher training initiatives, funded by the U.S. non-profit West Africa Crossroads Corporation (WACC),[5] and organized and administered by local Saclepean educators.

As of February 2014, the SCCC building was yet uncompleted, and the computer center was preparing to reopen in a rented space after having been closed for several months due to some administrative difficulties.

Smaller clinics are run as private, fee-funded practices by local churches or Liberian individuals and are attended by Physician Assistants.

In response to war-torn families, low life expectancy, and high rates of death during childbirth, Saclepea has two relatively large orphanages.

Christianity is the dominant religion practiced among Saclepeans, but the city is also home to a significant Muslim community and to some native spirituality, such as witchcraft and animism.

Churches are typically engaged in benevolent activities including education, care of orphans and widows, healthcare, and economic empowerment.
