Dear Friends,
By December 20 this year; my friends and I lunch the Street Child Support Fund Project. I believe this is a way that we can help get some of these children from the streets first and lobby for funding to redeem their slow lost future by sending them to school and learning trade that would re-awaken their self-esteem and confidence for a new life.
I thank you for accepting my invitation to network. I encourage you to join me in fighting for the survival of over 1000 street children living and eating on the streets of Monrovia today.
Some of these children were left scattered and homeless, parent less due to the 14 years civil war here in Liberia. Another portion of them were brought to the city by some family members under the pretends of help their relatives carter and send their children to school, at a reverse turn the children into their bread winners by sending them to the streets either to bed or sell varieties of food stuffs and materials at their very riskiest appearance.
Just last week, two (2) 10 and 12 years street children selling oranges were killed by a drunk driver who also killed 5 other person's standing by the side of the road waiting for Taxis.
I believe that this is not a small job as it may appear, but with the collective support of all who love children and humanity, we can make it for these children.
Please feel free to contact me and share your view on how to push this dream.
I look forward to hearing from you as we work as partners to redeem the future of war affected children starting with those on the streets of Monrovia...!!

Monrovia's street children are largely self-supervised. Causes of street children In Liberia, could be trace to the grown effects of unemployment and the status of many parents & parental neglect leads to children running away from home to go in the streets to hustle on their own to meet the expense of their survival or to make ends meet.
