A recent flood disaster in Kakata, Margibi County, has left numerous families homeless, following heavy rainfall on July 9, 2025 that hit about 20 homes.

This deluge has severely impacted several communities, with victims attributing the flooding to ongoing road construction projects in the area.

Residents have expressed concerns that the flooding occurs because the swamp overflows into their homes, exacerbated by the inadequate size of the culverts being used to manage erosion.

They criticized the engineers for failing to properly open the culverts before commencing the road work. "The problem here is caused by the road engineer who did not open the culvert. The culverts that were installed are very small, and when it rains, they cannot hold the water from the swamp." They stated

Over seventy victims have reported that their appeals for the engineers to construct wider culverts have gone unheeded.

The affected communities include Kissi community, Carter High, Miss More, and Dennisville, among others in Kakata city.

The flood has led to the destruction of valuable possessions, including cash amounting to thousands of United States dollars.

Many of the affected individuals relied on income from commercial activities, such as operating motorbikes, cars, and selling both imported and locally produced goods in Kakata and surrounding areas.

Currently, several families are forced to live outdoors, facing significant health risks, particularly for children who are more susceptible to malaria and fever due to their exposure to unsanitary conditions.

Other areas affected by Wednesday's rain in Margibi includes Frog Island in the Smell-No-Taste community, Harbel general market, and Barclay Farm with over six homes being affected in totality.

Meanwhile, victims of the flood disaster are calling for an urgent assistance from philanthropist, government and non-governmental organizations in and out of Liberia.

JULY 9, 2025
BY: STAFF WRITER

Former aide to Liberia's former President George Weah, Sekou Kalasco Damaro has constructed and dedicated a modern bridge connecting the Dartu-ta and Mandingo Quarter communities in Kakata, Margibi County.

The construction of the bridge that cost over US$16,000 represents a historical moment for the residents, who have long faced challenges due to the lack of access to other parts of the area.

This bridge, dedicated on July 5th, 2025, has greatly improve the living conditions for the local population.

For decades, the absence of a bridge in the city side of District #3 has posed serious risks to the lives of the residents, particularly affecting school-going children and farmers.

Inhabitants of the immediate benefiting communities expressed their gratitude during the dedication ceremony, particularly praising Hon. Sekou Kalasco Damaro for addressing their longstanding issue.

They further highlighted the bridge's significance in overcoming a major obstacle in their lives.

The challenges faced by the community were evident, as residents explained that during periods of heavy rainfall, they were unable to transport locally produced goods such as pepper and bitter ball to the market.

This often forced children to stay home from school until the water levels receded.

Seventy-year-old Ma. Constance expressed her excitement, noting that this was the first modern bridge she had ever seen in the area.

She recalled the dangers of the previous wooden bridge, which was prone to deterioration. "This concrete bridge will be here forever," she stated, emphasizing the importance of the new structure.

The bridge enhances accessibility for residents, particularly benefiting students and the elderly, and marks a significant improvement in transportation and community integration after years of disconnection.

Hon. Sekou Kalasco Damaro, in remarks, stated that the project was initiated in response to the dangers and constraints faced by the local communities.

As a former presidential aide and a son of Margibi County, Damaro reaffirmed his commitment to providing essential social services and infrastructure for the residents. "I was born at C.H. Rennie Hospital here in District 3, and I have never slept well knowing that my people in Mandingo Quarter, Dartu-ta, and the Firestone belt and other surrounding areas struggled to access this road. Today, this dedication brings me great joy," he stated.

The completion of the Dartu-ta bridge not only alleviates transportation challenges but also enhances access to education and improves health response times for the community.

This project is part of a broader commitment by Hon. Sekou Kalasco Damaro to support the development of Margibi County, as demonstrated by his previous contributions, including his influence in the provision of US$ 22,000 for the disabled community.

The over US$16,000 investment in the bridge underscores his dedication to fostering development in his home county and beyond.

Actionaid Liberia names Little Angie Lynn Sackey (aka "Little Nicki") as its Child Rights Ambassador

By: Staff Writer

Monrovia, Liberia – ActionAid Liberia has officially named eight-year-old Angie Lynn Sackey, popularly known as “Little Nicki,” as its Child Rights Ambassador.

The announcement was made on Friday during the launch of Stories of Change a documentary and book developed under ActionAid’s Just and Equal Communities (JEC) Project.

Little Nicki, a well-known Liberian child public speaker and entertainer, captivated the audience with her powerful spoken-word performance addressing the harmful impacts of Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM) on girls and women in Liberia and around the world.
“Girls are the most vulnerable members of any community,” she said. “They have excessively suffered the negative effects of poverty, inequality, and harmful cultural practices. That’s why I’m here to speak up for children’s protection.”

Her performance, backed by data and insight, moved the audience drawing both applause and solemn silence as she called on lawmakers, traditional leaders, and communities to replace harmful practices with education and empowerment for girls.

Nicki emphasized that FGM is a violation of children's rights and an extreme form of gender-based discrimination.

She cited international efforts to eliminate such practices, including the 2008 World Health Assembly Resolution WHA 61.16, which called for cross-sectoral action to end FGM. “We love and respect our culture and traditions,” she said, “but we must also be willing to make improvements where they are needed.”

Nicki closed with a call for intentional and collective efforts to protect girls, noting that when children, especially girls are protected from harmful practices, they can maintain their physical and psychological well-being and reach their full potential.

ActionAid Liberia’s Country Director, Madam Elizabeth Gbah Johnson, praised Little Nicki’s performance, saying it reflected the core of the organization’s mission.
“Just listening to this young activist, we realized we had found someone who could carry our message,” said Madam Johnson. “Her insights felt like they were lifted straight from our country strategy document. We will be reaching out to her parents and manager, and today to work out all the details is our Child Rights Ambassador.”

The Stories of Change book documents the personal journeys of 109 former FGM practitioners who have abandoned the practice in favor of new, safer livelihoods.

It is part of the broader Just and Equal Communities (JEC) project, launched in 2019 and funded by the Embassy of Sweden near Monrovia.

Implemented in Montserrado, Grand Cape Mount, B**g, and Gbarpolu Counties, the JEC Project promotes human rights and gender equality, democracy and rule of law, and sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR).

To date, the project has targeted over 38,000 women and young people with empowerment programs and tools to claim and defend their SRHR.

In its fifth year, it reached 460 FGM practitioners with awareness campaigns and helped strengthen community accountability mechanisms for gender-responsive service delivery.

The appointment of Little Nicki as Child Rights Ambassador symbolizes a new wave of youth-led advocacy in ActionAid Liberia’s ongoing fight against FGM and harmful traditional practices, while protecting the rights of girls and women across communities in Liberia.

Executive Mansion, Liberia – President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., today officially launched the Presidential Vacation Enrichment Program and Community Service Projects at the Executive Pavilion in Monrovia.

The program, themed “Learning is Leadership: Investing in Youth for Liberia’s 21st Century Transformation,” is a bold national initiative aimed at empowering young Liberians through education, innovation, and civic responsibility.

In his keynote address, President Boakai declared that Liberia’s path to progress lies squarely in the hands of its youth and must be driven by education, hard work, and community engagement.

“I stand before you not simply to launch a summer enrichment program,” the President said. “I stand before you to unleash a promise—that in this 21st century, Liberia will rise through the power of its youth. And that rise to glory will begin with education.”

Citing sobering statistics on national learning outcomes, the President emphasized the urgent need to reverse poor literacy and numeracy rates while creating new avenues for meaningful youth engagement.

President Boakai highlighted several pillars of the initiative:
• The Ministry of State Scholarship Program, which currently supports over 400 students across 20 universities and technical colleges, offering them an opportunity to learn and grow regardless of their background.
• Recruitment of 100 youth teachers from the scholarship program to serve as mentors and educators, turning today’s learners into tomorrow’s leaders.
• Support for youth-led green entrepreneurship, including local production of recycled school bags that turn waste into employment, reflecting a vibrant push toward environmental sustainability.
• Mandatory community service for all scholarship recipients, reinforcing the message that with opportunity comes responsibility.

“These scholarships are not just about imbibing theories; they are about nation-building,” the President stated, noting, “They are about equipping Liberia to feed itself, heal itself, and power itself forward.”

He reiterated his belief in the potential of every Liberian youth and challenged them not to wait for tomorrow, but to lead today.

To the students, the Liberian Leader declared, “You are not the leaders of tomorrow. You are the leaders of today. Your country believes in you. Your President believes in you.”

President Boakai expressed appreciation to Liberia’s educators, development partners, and communities for their continued support and partnership in youth development.

As he officially launched the program, the President called for a new national chapter in which education becomes a national obsession, youth a national treasure, and learning a tool of liberation and progress.

This initiative reflects the Boakai Administration’s ongoing commitment to inclusive education, youth empowerment, and sustainable national transformation.
