Liberia

What we do

Liberia is a country in West Africa, bordering Sierra Leone, Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire. The country is one of the oldest Republic of Africa, yet one of the poorest countries in the world. The main reason behind the cause of poverty level in Liberia is the 14-years civil war, and even after slightly recovering, it is still in a vulnerable state. The country economy is extremely underdeveloped as the civil war destroyed much of Liberia's economy, especially the infrastructure.

The World Bank announced that about 54 percent of the population of Liberia is living below the poverty line. Since making our first appearance here, we have worked closely with academia, orphanages, government, private sector, and civil society to help and protect vulnerable children in the slum communities from violence, exploitation and abuse. Only a small proportion of acts of violence, exploitation and abuse are reported and investigated, and few perpetrators are held accountable. We and our partners keep an eye on the children who ones have experience these acts by keeping a regular contact with them while protecting others from these acts.
