Liberia: War-Affected Youths Acquire Skills

Camp for Peace Liberia (CFP) - a local NGO with support from the United States Workers Union of Canada, has ended two days business training for youths in Zorzor and Salayea districts, Lofa County, northern Liberia. Executive Director B. Abel Learwellie, says the training is part of a project titled, "War Affected Youth Rehabilitation Program."

Mr. Learwellie continues that the program targets former child soldiers and ex-combatants, who were re-integrated into society, but experience exclusion due their participation in the civil conflict. He explains that the goal is to rehabilitate them into full economic and social participation, transforming them from an ongoing challenge to becoming a considerable asset to their communities.
