Out Run EBOLA: awareness/protection for children

1. Cases received at the THINK Safe Home are survivors of SGBV, Human Trafficking and Domestic Violence. Cases received at the Juvenile Transit Center are children who come in contact or conflict with the law (minor offenses) with the law such as juvenile delinquency and petty theft. For children that come in contact with the law, cases are; child abuse, neglect, abandoned children, runaway girls, lost or missing girls and children in need of protection including parenting (when the primary caregiver is incarcerated). In the case where the child is a boy THINK Liberia take under five boys up to 8years old. THINK will accept a boy and provide protection and shelter for a very short time because the home is for girls and women.

In the absence of subsidy from the government, the support given from Globalgiving donors and partners have kept the doors open to the THINK Liberia Safe Home and Juvenile Transit Center. THINK collaborates with the Women and Children Protection Section of the Liberia National Police and the Wolrd Hope International and provides a safe place where children have a home away from home. We are most grateful to all of you that have been our backing to put smiles on the faces of these children and to keep them healthy as we help them heal from their trauma and abuse.
