The+URO+project.

Plans start-up project in Liberia focuses particularly on education. After many years of civil war most schools in the country is in ruins. The goal of the plan is to get kids back in school as quickly as possible, while providing trauma treatment so that the children can process their traumatic experiences from the Civil War. Plan played a key role in the initiation of such a project, which has so far helped about 4,000 children so that they will be better able to start school. Local communities participated in the selection of teachers, provided land for the informal learning centers, and helped with the construction of them. Teachers received training in the methodology for psychosocial support, peace and health education.
