Our results, our spending, our people

JUTO’s efforts have already made a significant impact. The results, both in terms of individual success stories and broader community empowerment, are encouraging. Through continuous learning, monitoring, and adaptation, JUTO is poised to scale up and expand its efforts, contributing to the larger goal of eradicating poverty in rural Liberia. Our cost-effective, community-focused model offers a pathway to sustainable development, and we remain committed to achieving transformative change in the years ahead.

In their own words

“Before the JUTO program, I had to crack palm kernels to provide food for my family. But since JUTO came into my life, I now have a shop and a business that I’m managing, earning my own money, feeding my children, and providing them with medication whenever they are sick.”

“Before the JUTO program, I had to make a small backyard garden to find food for my children. With JUTO’s intervention, I now have my own business, and my children are in school.”

“I was not able to do anything on my own, but through JUTO, today I own a bean farm where I harvest beans and sell them to earn my own money, enabling me to provide food for my children.”
