- Liberia's government has launched an investigation into an American charity set up to help vulnerable girls, following a report into how the organisation dealt with allegations a staff member had raped pupils in its care.
The first More Than Me Academy was established in 2013 in the Liberian capital Monrovia by American, Katie Meyler. A former staff member, Macintosh Johnson, was accused of raping girls at the school.
Katie Meyler has temporarily resigned as CEO of the charity pending the outcome of the investigation. Finlay Young reports.

annnd why on earth would you again have a male recruiting youth girls, again this position should have been given to a women in the community
I am loss for words.
This is the main reason I refused to donate to any charity that operates in Africa.
@Mind Freshener too bad for her. I guess she will not be getting rich off my back.
the charities that operate in most western countries are just as corrupt ...only difference, they know how to go about it
I am not. This is pretty common.
Ok Karen
I’d trust Child Liberty. He actually seems to care
So sad. Sorry for the poor girls.
Did you follow the money? She raised it easy how? Child Trafficking! Girl Katie ain't good. Don't be blind!
@Mind Freshener
So sad.
Disgusting
My question....why in the world would she have a man running a place for vulnerable girls in the first place!!!!!
This is sickening. The people and children of Liberia deserve so much better. Checks and balances should be in place from several sources. That she obviously didn’t give a thought to this is incredibly irresponsible. The HIV thing is repugnant. How could they not know. Their response is ugly besides that. Katie actually dated the guy and said they “remained close “ yet she didn’t know?
sad. they should have hired teachers locally, given women an opportunity to make make money and provide for their family, why on earth would you bring white non certified instructures on board.
Lien Apparel exactly!!!!
Yes!
Only African can help themself
No one will help Africa and its people
Wickup Liberian, wickup African
Everyone in this story is so cowardly
when will Africans learn ? what glitters is not always gold..
That is ignorant to say . . I'm sure they know this . But just like anyone ,anywhere in the world...when you are so vulnerable and in such a shitty situation , you except anything at any cost to survive because it's better than the opposite , at that time...or you're not given a choice ......
When is the whole world going to see that not everything that glitters is gold should be the question , because then maybe real genuine help can be given.
Charities are not what they meant to be anymore! They are corporate machines!
Keep up the good job on those reports. Thanks.
so did katie contract hiv from macintosh?
👀
*The BBC covered up for Jimmy Savile, enough said..*
*Telford*
Excellent Reporting!
Katie, thank you for helping my country. Liberian loves you. As always, there are evil people out there trying to destroy the good. But keep strong. it would be a pleasure to meet you someday. How can I set up monthly donations to your organization?
And now these same type people and charity organizations are in Haiti for the same exact reasons. It's easy to blame the black man, but he ain't the one traveling all over the world, setting up the same programs. Smh
Mind Freshener Yes. Apparently having money is one of them, having power is another.
I agree ...however I do know of one place in Haiti that is genuine ..but it is a very small unknown kinda place that my grandmas ladies group of old ladies runs... if it still is even going because most those old ladies now have passed on or are like 80
And from Canada not america
Whatever mistakes she made at the start, Katie Meyler got off her ass and worked hard to do something out there, she stayed with the kids through the Ebola outbreak and she's still working now that with a vastly improved program.
Seems this charity was conned & used in the same way as every other charity in many, many countries. This program is angled that the people in charge are part of this big conspiracy, who just ignored child abuse. But it wasn't like that at all, that one guy was obviously very good at lying, manipulating and hiding what he did, just like Child Molesters in our own countries that get away with it for years. They got rid of him, and now have multiple other schools that are doing great work. They screwed up originally which let down those girls, but it's petty disgusting to say their Donors are all just interested in having nice pictures & videos as proof of how good they are, EVERY charity works like that! Who donates to Children in Need or The Red Cross and then flys out to other countries to check on who's in charge?? All charities have huge challenges when they have to rely on local people in areas of extreme poverty that don't have the luxury of formal references, qualifications or Police checks that we take for granted..
i dont technically think shes a bad person but she was very ignorant way in over her head and honestly could be perceived as lazy as well because she didn't check what macintosh died of when she could easily do it and didn't test all the possible victims.

What did the first female African President do about this? It happened under her watch in her country. (Ellen Johnson Sirleaf).
She was sadly very corrupt as well, supported a warlord too. On surface level and to the west she looked amazing but she let people suffer, we’re just now actually getting things done. Grassroots organizations in Liberia, BY Liberians, is what’s actually saving people, not the government.
You better know about child traffic.😢
fuck, it would take a dust of the Warren Buffets fortune to make this country a paradise again.
Oh ffs, the evangelicals smh
why does it say im subscribed to you I never pushed that red button with that red profile picture right there
Thank to American
That's just how the US rolls I suppose it's really fucked and I wish as an individual I could do more but too many biological and economic and capitalistic things in the way
Indian soldier are ready ...
Is Katie Meyler eating those millions of pounds of charity money??
right? she got pretty raggigity
I read 'US charity failed' and wondered if it was Trumps charity?
Trump is AMERICA FIRST remember.
Title should read:How Liberia failed as a nation and now needs charity.
Yh but that's because of slavery when the US invaded them and stole all of their natural resources
@@abdullahdelab1075 Im a Liberian that is not our history Liberia was actually founded by Freed Slaves from the US and was never an official colony.
Are u being gangstalked in uk
The white savior 😏🤔. There is no accountability when your skin is pink. "The customer is the donor. "
PANODRAMA!
Let's not prejudge people trying to do good and hold accountable only those who do wrong.
If fund is not an issue, a good programme should not be scrapped but corrected.
I blame all of them. Mcintosh was a predator. Mrs. Myer should have done a better job. As well as the liberian nurse who said she was afraid to say something. In my opinion she was just as bad as the predator.
Didnt anericas dhs department of humane society bring them from america over there. Now they messin with them over there too
Doesn't Liberia only allow black immigrants to live there? Can we have ethno-states in the West too?
Ethnostates are retarded so no. And do you really want to copy what a 3rd world country like Liberia does?
Well Ben if it's true what they say then 15 years is not enough 🤢
Atleast kate tried to help them.
Jjk
