I felt so much pain for those little girls and mothers crushing stones 😥These families deserve some hand and help from government or NGOs. Mr. Narrator, good job. I hope to reach those kids some day, and support their education. Johnson Sirleaf and George Weah could have done more, but again I am aware of the challenges a country like Liberia faces after decades of war.
@chrisogonas that ain’t our problem those people are the foundation builders of their country if they had an actual social society with a non corrupt government then those exact same people would be making 1200$ a month its not our problem it’s their culture’s fault
@@tonytokyo9669 I think you are either mischaracterizing the problem or simply misunderstanding the problem. This is not a cultural problem. Yes, perhaps I can agree corruption has lots to do with it, but there is more to it. There is corruption in America, and many other countries you may consider successful, yet they still manage to address critical human needs like education, health and general basic infrastructure. And while all that may be true, it is no reason to take the convenient road and dismiss or condemn the victims of such failed systems. FYI, many of these countries are failed due to systemic interference and sabotage by the so-called developed nations. You must blow out the scope of your perspective in order to properly contextualize the issues at play. I do not think anybody is calling you to do anything or change the entire country. It is a choice for the willing and if you are unwilling to do a thing, then get out of the way; leave alone those who want to demonstrate leadership and lend a hand to those in dire straits. Just purpose to change the lot of one if you cannot do it for several, but even if you can't do it for anyone, then do it for yourself. Rise up and lead wherever you are. It is not your problem, but it is someone else's problem. We need more leaders, NOT saboteurs. I rest my case!
@@tonytokyo9669 Nope. I live in Eswatini - ruled by the last reigning king running an entire country. Skilled workers who went to college to learn shop floor skills earn 30$ per month that is 1$ per day. The cost of anything is the same here as in any other country where people DO get 1200$ per month social support for doing NOTHING AT ALL. NO ONE - not even school principles earn 1200$ per month here. You do not have the faintest idea what you are talking about. BTW name just ONE country with a non corrupt government - just ONE will do. Dream on you live in a world that you know nothing about.

Watching the challenges that these people face makes me even more thankful for all that I have. I think this experience would definitely have a positive effect on the lives of children in the US and Canada.
The children in the US and Canada would not last one day breaking stones in the African sun. They are a bunch of entitled softies. No wonder so many of them turn out bad apples. Here in Eswatini where I live children of age 6 walks up to 30 km per day to attend school. Without proper clothing, supplies or food.
@@slickperspective I earn very little at age 67. Yet I have 5 foster children here in Eswatini that I am giving a chance in life. We must ALL do what we can or the world will become worse as a collective. And we ARE a collective even if we do not want to admit it. I admire you for whatever you do for those that can never repay you. That is the true mark of a balanced viable human being.
@alandodson6207 Yeah, I suppose they probably could. But, then again, you can't say that unless you can prove it. So, prove it. Show us all your information, proof, numbers, on how they could do it. After all, it's not fair for you to claim they could, unless you can prove it. Also, even if they could ''fix them'', it wouldn't work. Because it would just be temporary. It would be fixed, and....and then what? Oh sure, it would be fixed for a brief period of time - and then the money would run out, and it would fall right back into the mess it is. You can't just throw money at a problem to fix it. The issues are deeper than that, ie corruption.
@alandodson6207 Due to my work, I've been on cross-country trips across Central thru South africa for almost a decade. And I can tell you that throwing money isn't gonna solve many problems for a lot of countries there. Corruption is extremely high. You build your well and your farm land on a village, come back next year and both will either be destroyed or taken over by local gangs.
To our resilient African brothers and sisters in Liberia, to my little girl who is working hard for her meal, to the tenacious women enduring days of mud-covered paths to make ends meet, your struggles resonate deeply. Please receive my heartfelt support in these challenging times. Together, we can overcome adversities, and I believe in the unwavering resilience within each one of you.
It’s sick she had 8 kids in complete poverty and they are forced to work at 5 years old and I’m sure there are younger kids there it’s not something good it’s stupid these people are stupid if you want a kids and are fully poor that’s a bad idea but 8 no that’s evil to the core that’s an awful mother just as much as the father they are both awful guess that’s why they had 8 kids

my father lived in Liberia as an American peace corps volunteer in the 70s. He said the people and the culture were great, but there was so much corruption and other problems. For instance, he said there were the 1% who lived in air conditioned mansions (who were either pastors, government ministers, or major business owners), and the rest lived in squalid huts. He himself lived in a hut and gave most of his meager peace corps pay to help folks in the village. Aid workers who came to the country also lived the high life. He said that there was a government campaign then to get the men to work, saying that women should not have to do everything. He noticed many men didn't do much during the day and relied on the women to do all the hard work. As for infrastructure, the government would come in and build new roads, put in no drainage, and the road gets washed away in the rains. As a bearded, white clothed white man he was accused of being everything from the CIA to Jesus reborn. He got to meet and drink with the men who would later sack the government and begin the civil war. He often thinks of and worries about his Liberian friends, who he fears likely all died in the civil war.
That’s very interesting. I have a friend from Liberia that tells stories of peace corp volunteers and of the war. He was born in 1958, so would’ve been a teenager in the 70s.
Really enjoyed this documentary. On one hand it shows how important good governance and infrastructure is but also shows how people can work together and overcome obstacles.

The less fortunate use kids as “insurance” or “more hands on deck” for the future. It’s nature unfortunately and probably the only option they have, factoring in infant mortality too
you dont get it do you? the more children there are, the more hands there are to work for the family and the better the chances of survival for the parents who will quite literally starve to death if they are unable to work.

The village faces a complex and disheartening situation. Villagers are subjected to exploitation from various entities, including religious figures, unethical merchants, and corrupt politicians who prioritize the interests of foreign corporations. This exploitation creates a dire reality for the villagers, further compounded by the challenges of large families. It's a stark reminder of the hardships faced by vulnerable communities.
In my country the church is next after politicians .even offering of about a minimum $12 are set as minimum of being member .isee many people money in thousand being requested every week for useless project that never come .
To the resilient individuals in Liberia facing the challenge of vehicles stuck in the mud: In the face of adversity, your strength shines through. Remember that challenges are temporary, and with unity and determination, you can overcome any obstacle. Take heart in knowing that setbacks pave the way for comebacks. Reach out to one another, lend a helping hand, and together, you'll pull through. Your perseverance is commendable, and brighter days are ahead. Keep your spirits high, for every difficulty you encounter is a stepping stone towards a stronger, brighter future. You've got this!

Americans of African heritage can claim citizenship in Liberia if they wish to flee racism in the U.S. For some reason, though, very few take the country up on their generous offer!
I wish they knew how much they could prosper in such a country, with no infrastructure and basic business niches everywhere. With their American dollars, education, and exposure they would thrive and transform this place.
@@Fido-vm9zi Just don't argue about that, just leave come invest in Africa, you can be a dual citizen, we need capital here there's a lot to do, for example, I've struggled a lot trying to get capital to launch my food delivery startup which is totally different in terms of the idea behind it and I only need a little capital push and that's it. Now imagine if Black Americans could form a joint collaboration where they fund businesses and other projects, we would go far as a people. There's a guy called JT The bigga figga and he came to my country Kenya and did some great stuff for the artists here. there should be more of that...
@@Fido-vm9ziSince James Monroe was US President. Monrovia, Liberia is named after James Monroe who promised black slaves free passage to Liberia if they didn’t like living in the racist US. Not many blacks, if any at all take up the offer though for some weird reason! 😂😂😂

Saya suka sekali dengan film dokumenter seperti ini
Butuh perjuangan untuk mendapatkan video yang anda tayangkan
Anda dan team sangat luar biasa 👍🌝
The village faces a complex and disheartening situation. Villagers are subjected to exploitation from various entities, including religious figures, unethical merchants, and corrupt politicians who prioritize the interests of foreign corporations. This exploitation creates a dire reality for the villagers, further compounded by the challenges of large families. It's a stark reminder of the hardships faced by vulnerable communities.
@@Julia-nl3gqyou made a good point
In my country the church is next after politicians .even offering of about a minimum $12 are set as minimum of being member .isee many people money in thousand being requested every week for useless project that never come .
Outstanding people !!!
To the resilient individuals in Liberia facing the challenge of vehicles stuck in the mud:
In the face of adversity, your strength shines through. Remember that challenges are temporary, and with unity and determination, you can overcome any obstacle. Take heart in knowing that setbacks pave the way for comebacks. Reach out to one another, lend a helping hand, and together, you'll pull through. Your perseverance is commendable, and brighter days are ahead. Keep your spirits high, for every difficulty you encounter is a stepping stone towards a stronger, brighter future. You've got this!
lol they’ve got this?! They’re going through hell every second they’re alive. But yeah they got this!! 🤜🏻🤛🏼
Luv the narrator translating 🗣🗣👌🏽
Why in the world would you have 8 kids that you can’t afford??! I don’t understand why these countries do not offer free birth control!
amazing
OMG. Still remember these roads. I served as UN military observer at Buchnan and Greenville back in 1996-97
Really 😮
Poor people should STOP having so many children. One per family unit is ample.
It doesn’t help that the Pope constantly goes down there to these poor countries in Africa and tells them that God said, “be fruitful and multiply,” so they keep multiplying! 😂😂😂
If you have one kid and he dies you are fucked, if you have 8 kids and one dies you have 7 left
@@horacecomegna335la religion plutôt oui 🤨😡le pape ne va jamais dans nos pays d'afrique ou très rarement . sachez aussi que en afrique beaucoup pensent que avoir beaucoup d'enfants est une garantie pour leurs retraites 😮🙃 beaucoup se disent que si tu fais un seul enfant qu'il devient un raté ou qu'il meurt , tu auras tout perdu☹️alors autant avoir beaucoup d'enfants en espérant que , au mieux tous réussisse 😁et au pire certains réussisse pour garantie la retraite des parents et aussi aider les frères et sœurs qui n'ont pas réussi en plus de la famille élargir 😬😒🥵et parfois même le village 🙄😧 la religion seule n'explique pas cela . manque d'informations sur les précautions et même trop pauvres pour acheter des comparatifs que faire 🫤?! les enfants deviennent aussi des esclaves par ce que les parents ne s'en sortent pas 😡!! je ne comprends pas notre mentalités franchement 😭🤢!!
If people all over the earth just stop being so horny. Maybe it will solve most of our problems.
Hvala za prevod😊❤👍lp
It's so weird hearing English being translated into English. 90% of the Liberian English I was able to hear was perfectly understandable.
Ya it’s kind of a hush hush racist thing that documentaries do when they have these types of translations
I needed the translation, i could barely understand their English
Yes, it's not used when the cockney accent is being used or the Scottish or Irish brogue, only with non whites.
Im indonesian dude but im still learning english, sometime i need to read to hear what are they talking about
I am indian I can understand most part of it
Poor but still making uncountable number of kids🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ real problem 😢😢😢😢😢
Americans of African heritage can claim citizenship in Liberia if they wish to flee racism in the U.S. For some reason, though, very few take the country up on their generous offer!
I wish they knew how much they could prosper in such a country, with no infrastructure and basic business niches everywhere. With their American dollars, education, and exposure they would thrive and transform this place.
How long ago are we talking for our African heritage?
@@Fido-vm9zi Just don't argue about that, just leave come invest in Africa, you can be a dual citizen, we need capital here there's a lot to do, for example, I've struggled a lot trying to get capital to launch my food delivery startup which is totally different in terms of the idea behind it and I only need a little capital push and that's it. Now imagine if Black Americans could form a joint collaboration where they fund businesses and other projects, we would go far as a people. There's a guy called JT The bigga figga and he came to my country Kenya and did some great stuff for the artists here. there should be more of that...
@@Fido-vm9ziSince James Monroe was US President. Monrovia, Liberia is named after James Monroe who promised black slaves free passage to Liberia if they didn’t like living in the racist US. Not many blacks, if any at all take up the offer though for some weird reason! 😂😂😂
@@horacecomegna335 I had no idea. I did notice the flag resemblance. Thanks for the information.
15 year's ago, same situation with us ,hard to cross river no bridges, roads were fully damaged, now everything is better, Jharkhand India
Saw this already. Always replaying old stuff. We need new stuff. Bless that woman raising 8 kids by herself any way she can. Hope the father that left them has a miserable life
like buy her a bunch of condoms???
I thought this was a reupload
Nice share ❤️❤️
"My car is called no bad days". When you have very little choice you'll just have to take his word for it
Magnificent craftsmanship
Why 8 children if you can’t look after yourself ???
We wuz kangz!
