Education Project for 50 marginalized Liberian

To prevent graduate of our educational program end up returning on the streets, during the period, Camp for Peace Liberia helped graduates to start a cooperative with financial and logistical assistance. Graduates who finished our agriculture course started a cassava processing plant in Lofa County. 22 construction course graduates were also hired by local authorities for civil engineering works.

A total of 106 graduates are currently benefiting from these activities. These activities have provided employment opportunities for these graduates.

Also during the period under review, additional 22 students were enrolled at the farmer field school, currently to studying agriculture that promises to boost food security and reduces hunger as a major contribution to the Sustainable Development Goal #2.

Our partners have expressed great enthusiasm about the progress made thus far.

Below are testimonies collected during the period under review:

Thanks to the CfP’s practical program, I cultivate cassava, make local fast food, and sell it in the market to make a living and send my daughter to school. I believe this program will help a lot of young people in Liberia. I feel strong, and I’m willing to work very hard to expand our cassava farm. (Milton).

After the war, I went to high school at the age of 23 and then joined the agriculture program of CfP. Now I’m working with my peers in our cassava farm, supported by CfP. I’m so happy that now I can make money by my own work and send my two kids to school. My dream is to have my own farm someday (Garmai).
