Church Aid Inc (CAI) is pleased to share pictures of ongoing training projects of 116  women of the Community Women's Training Center (CWTC) in Liberia. CAI implements projects in skills, training children,rehabilitation, agriculture, peace and advocacy,  micro-credit, literacy, trauma, counseling, and others. One of such intervention is going on in Jenneh, Dowiew District, Bomi County  where women from adjacent towns and villages benefit from training in small skills, advocacy and peacebuilding activities. People are returning to these villages after many years of civil war in Liberia.
CAI built the tent and tends to run the several phases of this program. The village is 25 miles west of Monrovia. CAI wants to support these women with small loans to start businesses to re-establish themselves.
During the training CAI/CWTC in collaboration with the agricultural
unit will also engage women in vegetable seed production through the 100 thousand package seeds project being supported by 'Seed Program Inc.' and 'The Disciples of Christ Church', etc. The project is supported to grow 5 to 10 thousand gardens throughout Liberia to help fight hunger in post-civil war Liberia. The President of Liberia has written granting duty-free privilege to this project and instructed the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Liberia to work closely with CAI   
to ensure the success of this program.
