Challenge
Liberia is one of the most poverty-stricken countries in the world with approximately 4.9 million people many of whom are young people accounting for 66% of the total population. According to the UNDP Human Development Report, 2015 stated that 85% of Liberian people live of less than US$1.25 dollar a day. Lack of quality and affordable education, quality and affordable healthcare, corruption and youth empowerment are the main factors responsible for these challenging problems.
