UN Women sponsored a one week Strategic Dialogue on decision-making and leadership skills development for 45 adolescent girls and young women from July 17 – 22, 2017. The participants came from rural Montserrado, Gbarpolu and Lofa Counties.

A Group photo after the Training
Because sexual violence, especially sexual exploitation and abuse, is prevalent in Liberia, UNICEF provided funding for THINK to conduct a vigorous campaign for the prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA) and other forms of sexual violence, in ten communities of three counties: Montserrado, Margibi and Grand Bassa for six months. We began with the training of 30 Trainers including 5 trainers from THINK, 5 trainers from the Liberia Association of Psychosocial Services (LAPS), who are now Community Mobilizer Facilitators and 20 Community Mobilizers consisting of 10 Youth and 10 Community Leaders from the ten communities we will be working with. We chose two thirds of the participants to be men and male youth, as we intend to have many men and male youth becoming champions to prevent SEA at the community level. IsraAID conducted the two weeks training.

“Caring For Children Affected by Ebola”
February 2017
Achievements
- THINK Safe Home provided services to 6 survivors of sexual violence and Trafficking and the THINK Juvenile Transit Center provided shelter and services to 10 children that came in contact or conflict with the law in January 2017.
- Clinical management and treatment provided for 32 survivors (24 being children), at the two One Stop Centers for Sexual Violence supervised by THINK
Success Story
In 2015, a visually impaired young lady was introduced to THINK a person with a disability that needed help to remain in one of the universities in Liberia studying Mass Communications.
THINK commenced paying her tuitions from funds received from donors interested in helping girls and young women enroll and remain in school. This young lady was one of the recipients of a laptop computer from the Global Neighborhood Fund that a special software was installed on to facilitate her access to materials since blind students in Liberia have no brail school materials. They have to punch their school lessons onto their brail pads as they listen to their teachers in their classes.
Our beneficiary graduated from university with a Bachelor of Arts degree on January 31, 2017. We thank our donors from Globalgiving that have continually given resources to THINK that makes the dreams and aspirations of adolescent girls, young women and other children go to school.
Thank you!
