Child Protection & Advocacy

The need

Too many children have nowhere safe to turn

Children in Liberia face abuse, neglect, exploitation, forced labor, and the risk of trafficking, often without an adult who can intervene or a clear path to help. Families in crisis frequently do not know where to report harm or how to reach the services a child needs.

Kingdom Relationship Network exists to close that gap — protecting vulnerable children, strengthening families, and empowering communities to keep children safe.

What KRN is doing

The Child Advocacy Center and the Child Protection Hotline

The KRN Child Advocacy Center opened in 2025 in Monrovia as a safe place where children and families can find protection, counsel, and coordinated support from trained social workers and advocates.

The Child Protection Hotline gives children, families, and community members a way to report concerns and reach help. Together, the Center and the Hotline anchor KRN's prevention, intervention, and advocacy work.

Trafficking prevention

Human trafficking is one of the threats this work seeks to prevent

Human trafficking prevention and awareness are part of KRN's child-protection work, not a separate program. Children who are unprotected, out of school, or separated from a caring adult are more vulnerable to exploitation and trafficking, so prevention begins with the same protections that guard against abuse and neglect: a safe place to report harm, an advocate who follows up, and a community that knows the warning signs.

Through the Child Advocacy Center, the Child Protection Hotline, and community education, KRN works to help families and neighbors recognize risk early and know where to turn when a child may be in danger.

Who this program serves

Children at risk, and the families around them

The program serves children who have experienced or are at risk of abuse, neglect, exploitation, and harm, along with the parents, caregivers, and communities responsible for their safety. KRN protects the privacy and dignity of every child it serves and does not publish identifying details about individual cases.
