The People Empowerment Program in Liberia, PEP Liberia Inc (2004), is an initiative of motivated Liberian refugees from the Buduburam refugee camp in Ghana. In 2001 a small group of refugees decided to make productive use of their impoverished conditions. Together with SMA missionaries, they started open air vocational trainings for the camp’s youth on voluntary basis. Three years later, their tireless efforts resulted in a lively training center, offering an integrated program involving skills training for war-affected refugees, agricultural programs for women, a deaf school and refugee children assistance program.
PEP returned to Liberia in 2005 and in 2008 proudly completed its own technical training centre in Johnsonville, in the outskirts of Monrovia. The school also provides primary education. Pep Liberia Inc. is su
pported by PEP Liberia Foundation in the Netherlands. Part of this website is therefore available in Dutch.
The logo of PEP shows a rising sun, symbolizing hope. This is the spirit of PEP, which comes from the belief in self-empowerment.
For the future, we are full ambitions to be part of the reconstruction of our country. But we would never have been where we are now, without the support of the small PEP Liberia donor community, and without them, we would not have a future. You can help us make our dream come true. Be welcome to join us!
