Selected project in Liberia: New economic basis for the people

Creating a new economic basis for the people - that is Welthungerhilfe's aim in the south-east of Liberia. There has been over-exploitation of tropical timber resources in the Grand Gedeh, River Gee and Sinoe districts for years. Economic activity has stagnated for a long time now. The people are almost entirely left to fend for themselves.
