LAUNCH is working to empower tens of thousands of Liberia’s most vulnerable to lift themselves out of poverty. A USAID Food for Peace program, LAUNCH, which is implemented by ACDI/VOCA, Project Concern International (PCI), John Snow Inc. (JSI), and Making Cents International (MCI), supports the U.S. Government’s Feed the Future Initiative. The program repairs infrastructure; improves water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); teaches farmers more efficient agricultural methods; and councils mothers on boosting child and maternal nutrition. Most importantly, it brings community members together to address some of their most dire problems while fostering strength through deep-seated bonds.
