As a national organization with sub offices in counties of Liberia, SEARCH provides local and national fora where members exchange ideas, be informed about topical issues and create skilful opportunities. SEARCH acts as a lobby group on children’s and women’s issues, highlighting and publicizing not only the barriers to success that may still exist but also many opportunities available to women and children in Liberia and the world over. Through strategic partnerships with donors, other non-profit organizations, governments, leading companies and schools, it provides on-going events and opportunities to advance the interests and needs of children and women. The word ‘emergency’ in the name of the organization has a wider meaning to include every harmful situation affecting women, children, and people with disabilities. This explains the extensive scope of the organization’s interventions.
