A women advocacy group, Sharp Home Care Service says the 2.7 million US dollars from the World Bank is a breakthrough for women development in Liberia.
Liberia and the World Bank on Thursday signed the grant agreement for women program through the Ministry of Gender and Development.
The head of the women group, Madam Betty Sharp hopes the money will be used to get girls and young women from the streets through economic empowerment.
Madam Sharp said numerous counseling carried out by her organization show that lack of skills as one of the major factors why some of them have become sex slaves.
The women rights advocate commended the World Bank and called for the implementation of the money to reflect the lives of women in the rural parts of the country.
