WAVS equips students in Guinea-Bissau with job skills that lead to lasting opportunities. Through vocational training programs in welding, computer literacy and language studies, students gain practical skills that help them secure stable employment or start their own businesses. By keeping tuition affordable, WAVS ensures that students from all backgrounds can access education that transforms their future. Beyond technical training, students develop character, leadership, and faith-based values that empower them to positively impact their families and communities for generations to come.
