As the new school term approaches, many children are embarking on a fresh chapter filled with both exciting possibilities and unique challenges.
We encourage parents and guardians to engage in open, honest, and age-appropriate conversations with their children. Remind them that they can always turn to you for support or when they feel uncomfortable. It is also important to ensure they identify other trusted adults they can reach out to if you are unavailable.
Above all, remember to actively listen to your child’s concerns. By fostering a supportive environment for dialogue, you empower them to speak up confidently whenever issues arise. ... See MoreSee Less

Lol children authority u all alive.I sent u all a message from since last yr no response.
We hear you but we haven't seen you. It's difficult to trust these words because over the years the presence of the authorities in place to take care of our children have been absent. Now that something as tragic as child abandonment has occurred, we hear from you. Hoping to see more of you in the future though.
Let’s make this JAVA a safer one for our children. 💛
We’ll be sharing practical tips and simple reminders to help parents, guardians and communities create safer spaces for children throughout the vacation.

A safe vacation starts with adults who are paying attention.
Parents, caregivers and communities all have a role to play. Stay alert, stay involved, and help keep our children safe and supervised.

Children can wander off in just a moment. Know where they are, who they’re with, and make sure they’re always within the care of a responsible adult.
Active supervision matters.
