Conflicts and Concerns
Conflicts in the Middle East may feel very far away from Liberia, but global events often affect everyday life in many countries. When wars disrupt oil production or shipping routes, fuel prices can rise around the world. Liberia imports fuel, rice, and many other goods, so higher global prices can make transportation, food, and basic supplies more expensive. This can affect taxi fares, farming costs, and the price of goods in markets. This can cause an additional impact on those with disabilities.For young Liberians trying to build a future, these changes can create extra challenges. Jobs may become harder to find if businesses struggle with higher costs. Farmers and small traders might see their profits shrink if transport or imported tools become more expensive.OneLiberia.ai can help...

Selling it from a small table or kiosk can be a practical and accessible way to earn daily income.The couple can begin with a small table, two chairs, and a simple sign showing the networks they support, such as Lonestar Cell MTN or Orange. They can buy airtime credit in small amounts and sell it to neighbours, market women, motorbike riders, students, and workers who pass by. Many customers prefer buying airtime quickly from a nearby seller instead of walking far to a shop.OneLiberia.ai can help...

Record Keeping
Record keeping and small business support can be an excellent income skill for disabled young Liberians. Many small businesses in Liberia—kiosks, market sellers, farmers, and street vendors—work hard every day but often do not keep clear records of their money. Without records, it is difficult to know if the business is making profit or losing money.A disabled young person who is careful, organized, and trustworthy can provide valuable help. The work mainly involves writing down daily sales, expenses, and stock purchases in a notebook. For example, a market seller may need help recording how much rice, cassava, or pepper was sold each day and how much money was used to buy new goods.OneLiberia.ai can help

YOUR Skills Are Powerful
Improving your skills is one of the most powerful decisions you can make as a young Liberian. When you choose to learn and practice a useful skill—whether farming, mechanics, tailoring, cooking, phone repair, carpentry, painting, plumbing, or many other skills… — you increase your earning power and your confidence.

Encouragement - Believe In What YOU Are
You are not empty. You are not behind. You are not useless. You are a person with strength, ideas, and the ability to learn. Even if you did not finish school. Even if you failed before. Even if money is short. None of those things erase your value.Believing in yourself does not mean pretending everything is easy. It means deciding that your life has meaning. It means saying, “I can improve. I can grow. I can learn one skill and become better tomorrow than I am today.”

Carefully Recording YOUR Revenue and Expenses
Money habits matter more than money size. In Liberia, many small businesses fail not because people lack effort, but because they do not control their cash carefully. You can avoid that mistake.Start with one simple habit: write everything down. Record what you earn each day and what you spend. Even if it is a small amount, track it. A small notebook is powerful. It shows you the truth about your business.

YOU Have Dignity. YOU Are Powerful

With Missing Limbs YOU Can Still Learn Skills and Begin Working
Limb loss and amputation are significant causes of mobility impairment in Liberia. Many young Liberians lose an arm, leg, hand, or foot because of road accidents, work injuries, severe infections, diabetes, or injuries linked to past conflict. For a young person, amputation can feel like a sudden end to plans, dreams, and independence. Yet across Liberia, many amputees prove every day that limb loss does not end a meaningful life.

Honesty, Politeness and Reliability
For young Liberians living with disabilities, long-term success often depends less on speed and more on reputation. Skills bring you work, but character keeps customers coming back. That is why it is so important to grow slowly while focusing on honesty, politeness, and reliability.
-

Persistence and Hope Really Benefits All
For young Liberians, persistence and hope are not just personal qualities—they are forces that lift families, strengthen communities, and build the nation. Life can be difficult. Jobs are limited, money is tight, and progress can feel slow. Yet history shows that when young people refuse to give up and continue believing in a better future, change begins to take root.

Listen Carefully to Others Especially Elders
One important truth to remember is this: no single elder knows everything. Every person carries wisdom shaped by their own experiences, struggles, and work. When you seek guidance from more than one person, you give yourself a fuller picture and a stronger foundation for making good decisions.
-

Looking for Advice, Guidance and Ideas
Many young Liberians carry a deep hunger for guidance, even if they do not always express it clearly. Sometimes it shows as frustration, silence, stubbornness, or confusion. Other times it looks like rushing into decisions, rejecting advice too quickly, or pretending to already know everything. Beneath all of that, there is often a simple truth: they want direction, reassurance, and wisdom, but they are not always sure how to ask for it.

Learn the Basics
For young people living with disabilities, one of the strongest paths to success is to start small and learn the basics well. Many young Liberians feel pressure to succeed quickly or to begin with big plans. But real, lasting progress usually begins with simple steps taken consistently.

YOU Have Abilities. Think About What YOU Can Do
For young people living with disabilities in Liberia, the most important first step toward earning an income is to focus on what you can do well, not on what you cannot. Every disability is different, and every person has unique abilities. Some people are strong with their hands, some are good at talking with others, some are careful and patient, and some are very good at learning routines and details. These strengths matter far more than limitations.
