 The plight of the most vulnerable in society is a collective responsibility that falls on every global citizen, as such all hands must be on debt to ensure proper care is given to them. This was the submission of the Chairman of the Social Welfare Integrated Programme Initiative, Dr. Kolawalee Ajayi, in an interactive session with journalists in Lagos. Children with disabilities are among the world's most stigmatized and excluded. The metered knowledge about disability and related negative attitudes can result in the marginalization of children with disabilities within their families, schools and communities. At this briefing, Dr. Kolawalee Ajayi, a pediatrician with more than 30 years' experience, harped on the need to standardize social welfare practice and intervention to help the needy. It's been a real problem in our country, taking care of children with some disabilities. And the disabilities vary, and quite a lot. In this country, you have a child with a problem. What is often done is families hide the children. He's at home. He cannot work like others. He's at home. He cannot communicate. Another member of the team, Ejoma Ejofo, said the objective of the initiative was to improve on the quality of social welfare administration. She revealed that intervention had been made in areas of donation of critical equipment and training. Wants to bring excellence and humanity into caregiving in our society. So the quality and value of care has improved tremendously, and the words, the children are better off from this care, as well as the caregivers. On her part, Valerie Aquarigi said the group was working in collaboration with state agencies, especially the Ministry of Youth and Social Development, and is counting on the support of other stakeholders to achieve the set objectives. We're focused on children with special needs in the society, and we're looking in terms of infrastructure, we're looking at training and capacity building in our homes. We're looking at education, we're looking at medical care. These are some of the things that we've identified as areas that really need some intervention. The group strongly believes that the society would be better for it if all human beings are emotionally intelligent, especially children with disabilities.
