Children Welfare: is a traditional term for the network of policies and programs designed to empower and protect the needy children, promote a healthy environment and meet their needs.
Basic goals of child welfare include:
- The best way to change the lives of the needy children is to change their world in which they live i.e (change their world within). And the best way to change their world within is to foster self-sufficiency and make them happy within and their communities.
- Millions of children around our society are in need of help to break out of the shell of poverty, unsafe drinking water, hunger, shelters, clothing and a lot more physical and mental challenges makes them weak, sick and more vulnerable;
- Providing adequate resources to address conditions such as inadequate health care condition can develop and thrive in a healthy nurturing social environment;
- Provision of books and financial assistance in the areas of training and scholarship offers, encourage the youngsters to get off the streets and into the school;
- Empowering children by focusing on and appreciating their racial, ethnic and cultural identities and by teaching them to stop social inequality;
- Meeting vulnerable children’s unmet emotional behavior and health needs;
- Missing out on an education keeps the needy children from reaching their potential.
Remember: We live to learn and we learn to live because the more we know and conscious of our awareness is the less we worried.
Youth Empowerment /Opportunities:
- The educational process is dynamic and wide ranging involving youths, their families, and an institution called school. School is no longer a building or simply a collection of classrooms in which teachers and pupils work together;
School is a conceptualized as a community of families and school personnel engaged in the educational process. (Kirk Ashman)
We have searched out through our research that senior citizens are treated very differently depending on their culture, (Global graying).
Some tribal societies simply let senior citizens die or actually kill them when these people are no longer “useful” and instead require care.
Basic Goals of Senior Citizens Welfare
- We will be educating the public to see senior citizens as a “resources” instead of a burden and emphasizing the significance of senior citizens as having sufficient numbers to wield political clout and become important participants in the political process;
- Expanding community based care to maintain senior citizens in their own homes as long as possible;
- Providing supportive measures (e.g financial assistant, tax incentives and respite care) to family members who care for senior citizens;
- Educating upcoming generation to prepare to care for an increasing proportion of senior citizens on the one hands, and for themselves as they age, on the other;
- Providing good health care for the senior citizens.
Community-Based Services
Those provided outside the home in the community from another dimension of the formal support network. It can fulfill a wide range of function, from providing health care to meeting psychological and social needs.
Here are some of our proposed community-based services;
- Motherless homes;
- Recreational centers;
- Vocational Skills and Training Workshops;
- Motivational and Talented Entertainment Studios;
- Standard Libraries / E-learning;
- Adult Day Care/Hospices;
- Congregate Meal Program;
- Service Home Repair and Maintainer Program;
- Provision of physical activity and social interaction as a means of empowerment for senior citizens;
Right application of quality education (formal & informal, skilled & unskilled) is the only tool to transform the world….

- Diversity United (diversity equity and inclusion): We believe it is not enough to motivate without proper empowerment; empowerment may be the process of increasing personal, interpersonal, or political power so that individuals can take action to improve their life situations.
It may also means increasing, emphasizing, developing, and nurturing strengths and positive attributes. It aims at enhancing individuals, groups, families, and communities’ power and control over their destinies.
Raising critical consciousness is one of the fundamentals of empowerment!
