Stakeholders to Gather in Uyo for Conference on Supporting Vulnerable Children in Akwa Ibom

The Street Mentors Network, in collaboration with various partners, is organizing a significant conference on September 26 in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, focused on strengthening family-based alternative care for vulnerable children. This event aims to bring together key stakeholders, including caregivers, child welfare advocates, and community leaders, to discuss effective strategies for supporting at-risk youth.

As the number of vulnerable children continues to rise, there is a pressing need for innovative solutions to provide them with safe and nurturing environments. The conference will serve as a platform for sharing best practices and mobilizing resources to enhance the support systems available for these children and their families.

“Our goal is to create a collaborative framework where caregivers can share their experiences and learn from one another,” said a representative from the Street Mentors Network. “By working together, we can ensure that every child in our community has access to the care and support they deserve.”

Participants will engage in discussions aimed at identifying barriers to effective care and exploring community-driven initiatives that can foster a more supportive environment for vulnerable children. This gathering is expected to galvanize local and national efforts to prioritize the welfare of children in Akwa Ibom and beyond.
