A Week in West Africa with Jennifer and Peter Buffett

Visiting the International Rescue Committee's programs in Liberia and Sierra Leone was a life-changing experience for donors Jennifer and Peter Buffett. In one week, they met former child soldiers, survivors of sexual violence and families driven from their homes by war. Jennifer and Peter learned how IRC staff are working to improve the lives of Liberian and Sierra Leonean citizens and help them realize a more promising future.

Thanks to partnership with the Buffetts' NoVo Foundation, the IRC looks forward to doing even more in the region. We invite you to take a video trip with Peter and Jennifer:
