Welcome to our community. Here’s what we believe.
>> Giving opportunity is much more impactful than giving charity.
>> West Africans living in poverty are ready to work for a brighter future. All they need is the opportunity.
>> Jesus has called us to love our neighbors, no matter who they are or where they live.
Based on these simple beliefs, WAVS opened its first vocational school in 2006 in a nearly-forgotten corner of the world – a tiny country in West Africa called Guinea-Bissau. Since then, WAVS schools have equipped more than 1,400 young people with life-changing job skills.
We’d love for you to join us.
