Disadvantage Youth Empowerment Program In Liberia.

Disadvantaged Youth Empowerment Program – LiberiaA Story of Hope, Struggle, and the Need for Support

By Global Bassolians for Development and Progress

Our Story

In the heart of Margibi County, Liberia, many young people are facing a silent crisis. Poverty, lack of opportunity, and exposure to harmful substances have placed countless youths at risk of losing their future.

Recognizing this urgent need, Global Bassolians for Development and Progress took the initiative over the past years to bring hope where it is most needed. With limited resources but a strong commitment, we launched a youth empowerment and feeding program aimed at supporting disadvantaged youth across Margibi.

Our mission has been simple but powerful:

To provide nourishment, guidance, and a pathway away from harmful lifestyles.

The Impact We Are Making

Through our initiative:

• We have provided meals to disadvantaged youth who often go without food.
  
  
• We have created a safe space where young people can gather, feel valued, and be heard.
  
  
• We have engaged youth who are exposed to or involved in harmful substance use, encouraging them toward positive change.

Many of these young people attend our program because it offers them something they lack — hope, care, and a sense of belonging.

The Challenge We Face Despite the impact we are making, our greatest challenge remains:

We have no external funding or donor support.

• All activities have been carried out through personal sacrifices and limited internal resources
  
  
• We struggle to consistently provide food and support services
  
  
• The growing number of vulnerable youth is beyond our current capacity

This lack of support threatens the sustainability of a program that is already changing lives.

Why This Work Matters

Many of the youths we serve are at risk of:

• Substance abuse
  
  
• Crime and violence
  
  
• School dropout
  
  
• Long-term poverty

Without intervention, these challenges can define their future.

But with support, these same young people can become:

• Community leaders
  
  
• Skilled workers
  
  
• Positive contributors to Liberia’s development

A Call to Action

We are calling on partners, donors, and organizations to support this life-changing initiative.

Your support can help us:

• Expand our feeding program
  
  
• Provide counseling and mentorship
  
  
• Create skills training opportunities
  
  
• Reach more vulnerable youth across Margibi

Every contribution, no matter the size, can change a life.

Conclusion

Our work is driven by passion and commitment, but passion alone is not enough.

With your support, we can turn this initiative into a sustainable program that transforms lives and builds a better future for Liberia’s youth.
