Our Words of Wisdom
“The neglect of our youths over the years has yielded negative results which we are now forced to reckon with. If Liberia is to succeed in maintaining peace and stability, the government must address the systemic challenges confronting youth and empower them for self-fulfillment and national development.”
– Assistant Minister for Youth Services, Ministry of Youth and Sports, Republic of Liberia
