many girls are dropping out from school and teenage pregnncy is getting too high all due to the Western influence,International -NGO interventions interfering into the countrys governance and enforcing wrong edcation, campaining for children to be introduced to early sex trategies at age of 18 which is too early that makes the teenage boys to sleep with the girls and inpregnate them which they can not hold any responsibiities and the whole bording is left with the parents of the girls or the girls are left alone struggling that most will continually be pron to torist-sexual subject/slave and prostitution.Not all proposals that europeans will try to enforce in outrcountry that our governmant should allow. the local poeple/citizens and the government should think and review every investors points not to eager for money credited which they can not pay back in the end and our counties in africa epcialy sierra leone be forced to be claimed by the socllled steakholders to psychologically mislead the lives of the youths so that they will not be able to learn and in the country and to study interntionaly abroad.Be aware o the NGOs they are aiming to distroy the countrys future indirectly in a friendly manner hiding behind the movement "Development". Be aware fellow citizens and open your eyes to see better home trainig and right edcation for your children,the carefully the undercover package of the Intrnational business orgaizations, dont be hungry for the money...the money is coursing the ugeproblems to our country and theNGOs are having the aim to take the African lands and make the citizens as slaves if the project monies are not paid back to in fuurein the future.they ave already destroyed South africa, tunitial, egypt and now holding on westfrica to empower.thex are doing hidden business for their own benefit not a true donation for the better development of the african countries.Be careful with all NGOs my dear citizens and government of sierra leone and africa.
Good news! while it is still necessary that a system of monitoring and oversight be put in place to ensure that drugs and related services are properly administered to reach the people this effort should judiciuosly benefit; otherwise this noble gesture of goodwill will only melt away, elsewhere out of the country to dubious outlets as if it never happened only for personal, selfish financial gains to the few in charge.
