You're watching UNICEF Television. 00:00:00
After school, 16-year-old Mamiewe Kabor goes to the market to help her mother sell fish 00:00:08
in Liberia's capital, Monrovia. 00:00:13
At her stall each day, Mamiewe's mother, Elizabeth, struggles to make ends meet to support her 00:00:15
family. 00:00:21
Sending her four children to school was always a priority. 00:00:23
To send the children to school is hard, it's very, very hard. 00:00:26
In a country where only 26% of women are literate, Mamiewe is one of the lucky few who made it 00:00:32
to high school. 00:00:38
The 10th grader says she likes studying, most topics anyway. 00:00:39
I really love the school and I love, I do well in economics, that's my subject, I do 00:00:43
well in economics. And physics, physics gives me problems. It's really hard. 00:00:51
Poverty, social-cultural practices and Liberia's civil war have had a devastating impact on 00:00:57
education. The war disrupted the school system and traumatised children. 00:01:02
The war was so bad. During the war you don't have food, no food. I had a problem, my father 00:01:07
got sick and he died during the war. It was so bad. 00:01:17
Now that the conflict has ended, UNICEF is helping get more than one million children 00:01:22
to school. 00:01:26
Getting an education has been especially hard for girls, who are asked to help around the 00:01:29
house and are traditionally discriminated against. 00:01:33
Sexual abuse and exploitation is another problem for girls, and early marriage or pregnancies 00:01:38
often interrupt their schooling. 00:01:43
After delivery I get so weak, I'm so old to go back to school. I will be ashamed, my friends 00:01:45
will laugh at me. I don't go away, I just sit. That's why I want to make a difference. 00:01:50
Mamiwe says she wants to become an architect, and hopes to get married, but not too early. 00:01:58
Let's say I want to get married at the age of 24, 25. Looking first, I would like to 00:02:03
love the man and I would like this man to be more educated. Handsome is out of the question 00:02:12
because he must be himself. 00:02:21
As Liberia rebuilds, Mamiwe is hopeful that her education will help her make a difference. 00:02:25
This is Sabine Dolan reporting for UNICEF Television, Unite for Children. 00:02:32
