Minister for Women, Children, and Social Protection, Lynda Tabuya, met with executives from the non-government organization, Inspire Pacific, to collaborate in the space of children’s rehabilitation and wellbeing.

The discussions focused on how the government can work with other stakeholders to develop rehabilitation programs for young street dwellers battling drug use and those in conflict with the law residing at the Fiji Juvenile Rehabilitation and Development Centre.

Tabuya expresses her commitment to working with Inspire Pacific to address the pressing needs of vulnerable, at-risk children within our communities.

She states that government in the past has failed our children, and it’s time to come forward and work with partners for the love of our children.

Tabuya says that by fostering a collaborative approach, they aim to create a supportive environment for at-risk children, enabling them to break free from harmful cycles and create pathways to allow the children to lead fulfilling lives.

The children’s minister says that through shared dedication and innovative solutions, they aspire to pave the way for a brighter future for the children of Fiji.
