West African Vocational Schools (WAVS)
Unverified non-profit organisation
West African Vocational Schools is a Christian NGO based in the United States that works hand-in-hand with local leaders in Guinea-Bissau to offer job-training and economic development programmes in one of the world’s smallest and poorest countries.
The WAVS School, which is attended by 60 to 100 students at any given time, is run by an all-Guinean staff and offers classes in computer basics, auto mechanics, welding, sewing, English and French – courses that are in demand by people in the community and are designed to help young men and women acquire marketable job skills.
