With a heartfelt determination to address the pressing issue of child abuse, Her Excellency Mbah has pledged unwavering support to nurture a community where children thrive in safety, trust, and compassion. "The campaign's mission is clear: to raise awareness, empower children with the knowledge and skills to identify and respond to abuse, educate teachers, and foster community engagement" she said.
Amidst palpable anticipation and enthusiasm, Her Excellency Nkechinyere Mbah recently inaugurated the campaign in Enugu East Local Government Area. The launch event, held at Central School Emene and Community School Amorji, witnessed an inspiring display of solidarity and commitment from students, educators, and community leaders alike.
With a focus on clear communication and empowerment, Her Excellency Mbah introduced the concept of "Little Vanguards" clubs within schools. These clubs, under the supervision of teachers, serve as vital hubs where students can detect signs of abuse among their peers and report them to designated authorities. By providing children with a platform to voice their concerns and seek assistance, the initiative ensures that no child suffers in silence.
The positive response from the schools and the broader community underscores the collective determination to confront child abuse head-on. Her Excellency Nkechinyere Mbah has expressed profound gratitude for the collaborative efforts and reiterated her unwavering commitment to the cause. She emphasized that this campaign is not merely a call to action but a solemn pledge to protect the innocence and well-being of every child in Enugu State.
While the campaign gains momentum, guided by the vision and leadership of Her Excellency Nkechinyere Mbah, it will continue to serve as hope for the future.
"With each step forward, Enugu State moves closer to realizing a future where every child grows in safety, love, and dignity" said Dr. Favour Ugwuayi.
