• The Center for Women Children Empowerment
  (CEWCE) is a not-for-profit, non governmental
  organization which was established in 2004 in
  Monrovia, Liberia, with dedicated vision to help
  vulnerable women and children in the process of
  reintegration, de-traumatization,
  self-sustainability, empowerment and development
  in post-war Liberia, and eventually in Africa.
• CEWCEs main objectives are (1) to provide
  sustainable development programs aimed at
  empowering women and children (2) to advocate
  against abuses of women and children human
  rights and, (3) to promote the accomplishment of
  a just, inclusive and sustainable society.
• In further achieving its goals, CEWCE has
  partnered with Georgia Tech University/Microsoft
  Corporation in setting up the first Microsoft
  Unlimited Potential Computer Lab under its
  Computer Training Program.
• It is CEWCEs aim to help less privileged
  individuals and communities in Liberia achieve
  their goals and dreams through relevant,
  accessible, and affordable technologies. Through
  integration and momentum of MUP, CEWCE can expand
  the IT boundaries by
• integrating IT into traditional curriculum
  and/or customized training to support local job
  market needs and local community service needs
  that can be used to link local communities with
  other communities nationally and internationally
  thereby enabling
• economic growth in local markets and changing
  lives of the common people.
• Here are testimonies of some of the graduates of
  the first Microsoft Unlimited Potential training
  program in Liberia.
