Manage episode 423491338 series 3393816
Looking at Liberia’s newsmedia, one might think that no one lives outside the capital, Monrovia. We devote this episode to bringing some of rural Liberia's most pressing issues to light.
We visit a maternity clinic where giving birth means risking death. Six years since the land rights act just 16 communities have received land title. Experts say its time to go back to the drawing board.
A malaria vaccine finally rolls out across the country – promising to save the lives of thousands of children.
The trash crisis is bad in Monrovia and Paynesville but in rural areas things can be even worse.
And finally, experts say the number of women drug users in rural areas is growing with terrible consequences for their children and families.
