COMMUNITY ACTION Network Inc. (CAN) was established in June 2023 as a non-political non-profit and non-governmental organization to advocate and address the persistent Educational, Health and social economic challenges in Montserrado and Liberia at large. Amongst the many issues across communities include; violence among young people, drug abuse, Teenage Pregnancy, child Abuse, and SGBV issues etc. with these major issues confronting our society today, the need to contribute to addressing these societal problems cannot be overlooked and required collective efforts dealing with the complexity of social issues in Liberia. As a result of the outlining social problems in Liberia, CAN Inc. eventually embarked on an outreach program to provide educational information on Drug and Substance Abuse, SGBV, and Sensitization on Drug prevention across communities in Montserrado County.
