Many young Liberians carry a deep hunger for guidance, even if they do not always express it clearly. Sometimes it shows as frustration, silence, stubbornness, or confusion. Other times it looks like rushing into decisions, rejecting advice too quickly, or pretending to already know everything. Beneath all of that, there is often a simple truth: they want direction, reassurance, and wisdom, but they are not always sure how to ask for it.

For most young Liberians, becoming a handyman, handywoman, handyworker can be a good possibility. For those who are farmers, many have time each week, or many weeks after harvesting is over and the next seasons planting begins.

Practical skills are the most powerful ways to build a better life in Liberia.
