| Education |
|
| We believe that education starts with family and the importance of taking "a holistic approach" in educating our youth and adults with universal quality education in order to succeed and compete in the global economy. NASH’s approach to education brings together families, communities and local governments to strengthen early childhood development and basic education for children. Our efforts address the needs particular to marginalized populations such as girls, ethnic minorities, and children affected by HIV/AIDS, wars and other catastrophes. NASH’s fight against HIV/AIDS relies on a continuum of care for children and their families: prevention, ongoing care, and treatment. Community involvement and ownership is at the core of our efforts to identify and change beliefs and behaviors that spread the disease and to develop the skills and knowledge for affected communities to cope. NASH's innovative programs, depending on the individual's needs, will provide tuition, uniforms, shoes, textbooks, supplies, bags, and bus fare to help children from destitute families stay in school. NASH's extra-curricular activities help students to develop their social and leadership skills. |

NASH will also provide support for AIDS-affected children and conducts HIV/AIDS prevention education for other diseases as well as works hard to improve access to clean water and sanitation by improving latrines, building water containers, and arranging electric pumps for communities in remote areas. |
| Counseling |

| The civil wars destroyed private and public properties, forced young people out of school. The health system collapsed completely and because of poor sanitation, many people died of diarrhea, cholera and other curable diseases. Many were forced to live in squalor and humiliation. In order to survive during the war, people lived on whatever they could find and this experience has impacted their lives. These personal experiences of Liberians who survived rape, prostitution, public humiliation (such as being beating in front of children and family) witnessing the murder of family members and friends, loss of property and dignity, and psychological trauma, as well as, for some, the experience of perpetrating violence themselves. For those who took part in brutalities and killings, there will be long-term psychological effects for which therapeutic, i.e., rehabilitation and detraumatized services will be provided. |
