Helle Thorning- Schmidt former Denmark Prime Minister now Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Save the Children during his two days visit in the country has said that one of the messages for the government is not to forget the girls that suffered through ebola.

Addressing journalists on Thursday at the Save the Children’s office, about the visit they had with the president and other donor partners the CEO disclosed that they had three issues, which they came with and discussed. “Our main messages are that firstly, we are in line with the governments in their ebola recovery plan as it is good to set this kind of plan for the country.  We also asked that the girls that suffered through ebola should not be forgotten and the group of children we are thinking of are those pregnant girls”.
