Monrovia, Liberia – The Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), through its Prevention and Community Outreach Section, continues to strengthen school resilience against drug and substance abuse through grassroots awareness and mobilization efforts across Monrovia.
The LDEA team engaged students, teachers, and administrators at G.W. Gibson High School, George & Logan High School, and SOS High School in a series of interactive awareness sessions aimed at promoting drug-free learning environments.
Under the theme “Strengthening Schools’ Resilience Against Drug and Substance Abuse Through Grassroots Awareness and Mobilization,” the sessions focused on the dangers of drug use, peer pressure, and the importance of making positive life choices. Students were encouraged to serve as role models in their schools and communities by rejecting drug use and influencing others to do the same.
A major highlight of the engagements was the establishment of Peer Educator Clubs at each of the three schools. These clubs are designed to sustain anti-drug education and awareness activities on campus, empowering students to lead ongoing sensitization, peer-to-peer engagement, and advocacy initiatives in partnership with the LDEA.
Through interactive discussions, testimonies, and Q&A sessions, students gained deeper insight into how drug abuse affects health, education, and future opportunities. The initiative forms part of the LDEA’s broader prevention and outreach strategy to build a network of informed, responsible youth leaders championing a drug-free Liberia.
