LIBERIA
Liberia is located on the West African coast, was in the process of recovering from a 14-years senseless civil war when Ebola created new challenges in 2014. The virus posed a new threat to children, with challenges they have never seen before. Children were forced to leave homes where families were infected. Others faced stigma if their parents or siblings contracted the disease or they become shunned if they get the disease themselves and are fortunate to survive. Liberia is still experiencing a new wave of orphans similar to the one caused by the war. According to UNICEF, “many children were rejected by their surviving relatives for fear of infection.”
