Liberia

The Current Suffering Among Children

‍

Children in Liberia have endured decades of suffering, from the brutal years of civil war to the devastating Ebola outbreak that claimed thousands of lives. Many children were orphaned, displaced, or forced into child soldiering during the conflict, while others still face poverty, hunger, and a lack of access to education and healthcare. Even today, countless children grow up in slums or remote villages without clean water, safe shelter, or reliable protection from exploitation. The need to come alongside those who are working to protect and uplift Liberia’s children remains urgent.
