In this project our primary focus is on two groups in need:
Former Child Soldiers (FCS)
FCS are those young people who were under the age 18, got conscripted as fighter either by force, for revenge, pear pressure or any other unconventional means. They are usually uneducated, without skills, and unemployed. They are usually exposed to drugs, crime and violence for living. Many of them have not undergone a unique rehabilitation and reintegration activities since they escaped or were disarmed. They are usually found in large numbers in ghettos.
Wars affected youths (WAY)
These are youth who find themselves in the ghetto because of the lack of parental care, pear pressure or extreme poverty.
On the location there is a lack of established infrastructure and competitive markets, challenge the sustainability of new businesses. There is a need for generators, machinery, and basic materials in Liberia’s laundry and cold-water ventures, which is difficult to obtain.
In H2 we will continue looking different solutions for existing problems to gain positive momentum for our supported activities in Liberia.
