Aboansan Peace Village

The purpose of the Peace Village is to help strengthen trust and friendship within and between local communities. In this project, PCO works with vulnerable people in underprivileged communities in six villages. Our long-term goal is to establish a school and community action center which will include a health clinic, vocational skills-training center, guesthouse for volunteers, and community meeting space for peace and conflict resolution training and a practice space for Liberian and Ghanaian Culture Troupes. Initial funding has been secured and work is in its first phase.

PCO has began the construction of a six classroom school building at the site of the proposed West Africa Peace Village in order to provide better learning facilities for school children in Aboansan and other surrounding villages. At the moment, with the help of Aboansan villagers, PCO local staff and international volunteers, the contractors are in the process of constructing school building, but need to secure additional support for completion.

International volunteers are urgently needed to help with their expertise in construction, engineering or carpentry skills to build a school. Morever according to experience, volunteers may help with planning and fundraising.
