Liberia

Salesian Missions has been working in Liberia since 1979 when it opened its first vocational technical institute there. Nearly two-thirds of the 3.5 million residents fall below the poverty line and families struggle to rebuild in the wake of a devastating civil war. Among the most vulnerable victims are former child soldiers who must be rehabilitated and guided into a responsible and productive lifestyle.

The country was also devastated by the Ebola outbreak with more than 10,600 people affected and more than 4,800 reported deaths, according to the World Health Organization. Salesian missionaries worked to unite vulnerable Ebola orphans with relatives or with educational programs to provide much needed ongoing care. Other Salesian programs provide food, medical care and education to Ebola orphans and former child soldiers.
