They are Ready. Give them the opportunity.
In a nearly-forgotten corner of West Africa called Guinea-Bissau, two out of every three people survive on less than $2 each day. Yet, the young people who call this country home are ready to work for a better future. All they need is the opportunity.
WAVS vocational schools in Guinea-Bissau train more than 300 students each year in courses including welding, computer basics, and foreign languages — equipping them with skills that translate into jobs. And once the new Bissau campus is completely built out, it will have the space to train more than 2,000 students each year!
More than 75% of recent graduates have either started working or are continuing to study. These graduates are now able to use their skills to provide for themselves and their families — for a lifetime.
Join us on October 7 at Dine & Discover West Africa 2022 to help create a world where everyone has the opportunity to work for a brighter future — no matter who they are or where they live.
