Unprotected: How a US charity failed Liberia’s most vulnerable girls – BBC News
Liberia’s government has launched an investigation into an American charity set up to help vulnerable girls, following a report into how the organisation dealt with allegations a staff member had raped pupils in its care.
The first More Than Me Academy was established in 2013 in the Liberian capital Monrovia by American, Katie Meyler. A former staff member, Macintosh Johnson, was accused of raping girls at the school.
Katie Meyler has temporarily resigned as CEO of the charity pending the outcome of the investigation. Finlay Young reports.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

This video propagates an agenda, that whites are bad, they are oppressors, and blacks are good. It's just Marxism. Look at this nurse, she was silent for a few monts, because she was afraid to loose her job as a nurse. Why is she not taking responsibility for her silence? Why didn't she check if the girls are sick with AIDS? Where was all the local personel on the ground, why were they quet about it? Why donors supposed to know what's happening on the ground? All this report is so twisted.

Dear Africa,
Leave the foreign Religions like Christianity and Islam, The foreigners are ruling you by these Religions, waging psychological warfare in Africa.
The sooner you realise, better it would be for your upliftment.

This is sickening. The people and children of Liberia deserve so much better. Checks and balances should be in place from several sources. That she obviously didn’t give a thought to this is incredibly irresponsible. The HIV thing is repugnant. How could they not know. Their response is ugly besides that. Katie actually dated the guy and said they “remained close “ yet she didn’t know?

I blame all of them. Mcintosh was a predator. Mrs. Myer should have done a better job. As well as the liberian nurse who said she was afraid to say something. In my opinion she was just as bad as the predator.

Katie, thank you for helping my country. Liberian loves you. As always, there are evil people out there trying to destroy the good. But keep strong. it would be a pleasure to meet you someday. How can I set up monthly donations to your organization?

When angels of darkness destroy you and appear as angels of light how demonic can that be what is the difference between European abuse American abuse en Liberian abuse . If narcissists can abuse a child who comes from Liberia war which means they don’t have sympathy for the rest of the children in Liberia. After destroying the country and come back to show up as a Hero. Yah is watching and every single individual will be judged time will tell. After destroying your country they will still call the country on of the poor countries in the world and call u a black monkey over it .They come to ur country You don’t call them white monkeys but you give them place to sleep ,food and relax but if you try to visit their country they will tend to demons and call u black monkey and tell you how poor your country is forgetting to know they made that country poor . The hearts of humans are evil. I will never trust some white people in my life again because they decided to show me their true color.

She is evil . She wanted to cover up her big mistake, This is not how you run an organization. Cause she was white she had no accountability. There was no thought process in making sure that even the staff had accountability. How shameful to just dump them and leave without reparations. Evil.

Typical case of white saviors. People who have no idea how to run an organization but enjoy the praise and attention that it brings. Then if things go wrong they can simply go back to their countries, no responsibility or accountability whatsoever.
