Business Loan Changed Everything
“Before Youth Liberia, I had a dream and no capital. Their $1,500 loan helped me open my tailoring shop in Duala Market. Now I employ three other young women. The business coaching was just as valuable as the money.”
Korto Kollie
Entrepreneur, Monrovia
From Unemployment to IT Manager
“I spent two years looking for work after high school. Youth Liberia's ICT training gave me the skills, and their career team connected me to an internship at a telecom company. I'm now a full-time IT support manager.”
Emmanuel Toe
IT Support Manager, Lonestar Cell MTN
Career Pathway Opened My Eyes
“I had no idea what career path was right for me. The Career Discovery program helped me understand my strengths. Now I'm pursuing a degree in public health with a scholarship Youth Liberia helped me secure.”
Finda Kamara
Public Health Student, University of Liberia
Internship Became a Career
“My 4-month internship at a construction firm through Youth Liberia turned into a permanent job. I now manage a team of five and just got promoted to site supervisor. I never thought this was possible at 24.”
James Wreh
Site Supervisor, Build Liberia Ltd
Skills Hub in Sanniquellie
“Living in Nimba County, I thought these opportunities were only for Monrovia youth. The Youth Liberia hub in Sanniquellie proved me wrong. I completed agricultural skills training and now run a profitable farm.”
Pewee Sumo
Agricultural Entrepreneur, Nimba County
