Career Skills to Build the Community
Our Projects
It’s our mission to help people reduce their poverty by a huge number of helpful campaigns to make it essential.
Land for the Vocational Center
Securing land for the vocational center is a crucial step in turning this vision into reality. With this land, we can create a stable and nurturing environment where young adults can learn, grow, and develop the skills needed for success.
Our Programs
At the Jewel Bates Vocational Center, we offer free vocational training in skilled trades to empower Liberia's young adults. Discover how we transform lives and revitalize communities through vocational education.
“By providing opportunities for success, we give young adults a way out of poverty and an alternative to destructive habits and despair.”
