Business Loans

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.

Skills Training + Internship

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.

Career Pathways

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.

Internship Program

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.

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.
