Photo: Carpentry graduates from the USAID-funded WAYS project in Monrovia.

A group of carpentry graduates from the WAYS project in Monrovia pose with a sample of their finished products. To support the economic reintegration of the youths/graduates, UNICEF facilitated contracts with various U.N. agencies and other international organizations—often the only contracting partners in the devastated post-war economy of Liberia. In this case, school desks were contracted to carpentry groups from various WAYS projects as part of a USAID-funded effort to revitalize elementary schools throughout Liberia via teacher training, providing school supplies and textbooks, and the renovation of the school facilities.
