Plan International USA's Response to Crisis in Ivory Coast and Liberia
Plan’s emergency response teams have currently set up education and protection programs for 5,000 children in villages along the border in Liberia as floods of people escaping the unrest continue. Plan started working in Liberia in 1982 to help children to access their rights to education, health and protection. Civil unrest forced Plan to close down in 1993; however, Plan reopened in December 2006 and works with thousands of children and communities implementing development programs.
