Humanists Liberia: how we helped to establish a new national organization
How do new groups start without contacts or resources? We can help.
First steps
In Janury 2019 a Liberian humanist wrote to us saying, "I am contemplating on starting a humanist organization in Liberia." We began by providing helpful guides on running a humanist group, assisting with the development of a visual identity, and promoting the group's new social media accounts.
