We all know disasters happen, whether it be natural disasters or global pandemics, but usually, they don’t hit so close to home for most of us and hence, with Liberia recording its First Corona Virus case on March 15, 2020; the Drug Policy Coalition of Liberia and partners have thereof developed the Liberia Ghettos Outreach Initiative-LGOI aimed at provide support for disadvantaged young people who are substance users living in ghettos/ streets across Liberia.
The program seeks to provide temporary feeding, increase advocacy especially for females substance users against SGBV and unwarranted brutality against substance users by state security officers, enhance psychosocial counselling and support for substance users in Liberia during this COVID-19 and beyond.
