-Peer Educator Clubs Established Across Monrovia Schools
The Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), through its Prevention and Community Outreach Section, is intensifying efforts to strengthen school resilience against drug and substance abuse through sustained grassroots awareness and mobilization initiatives across Monrovia.
In recent outreach activities, 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.
Held 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 urged to serve as role models in their schools and communities by rejecting drug use and inspiring others to do the same.
A key highlight of the engagements was the establishment of Peer Educator Clubs in each of the three schools. The clubs are designed to sustain anti-drug education and awareness activities on campus, empowering students to lead continuous sensitization, peer-to-peer engagement, and advocacy efforts in collaboration with the LDEA.
Through open discussions, real-life testimonies, and question-and-answer sessions, participants gained a deeper understanding of how drug abuse negatively impacts health, education, and future opportunities.
This initiative is part of the LDEA’s broader Prevention and Outreach Strategy, which seeks to build a nationwide network of informed, responsible young leaders committed to promoting a drug-free Liberia.
