Youth Drug Prevention & Addiction Recovery Initiative in Liberia
The Substance Abuse Crisis Facing Liberian YouthIn Monrovia's Clara Town neighborhood, a 17-year-old sits on a broken wall, unable to return home. The synthetic drug known as Kush—selling for less than the cost of a single meal—has held him trapped for two years.
This tragic reality affects thousands of young girls and boys across Monrovia and surrounding communities. Following a national emergency declaration, Liberian mothers, community leaders, and educators have united to demand accessible addiction recovery support and proactive substance abuse prevention.
