Caregivers have called on government to step up the level of support to non-governmental organisations in the area of care for children, orphans and the vulnerable in the society.
The call was made by the house keeper and wife of founder, Living Word Mission (LIWOM) Homes, Ososami, Ibadan, Mrs Abimbola Marcus Williams, while receiving members of a United Kingdom-based non-governmental organisation, Positive Movement Empowerment (PWE), who were at the Ososami orphanage to donate items to the children.
The donation which formed part of the quarterly outreaches of the PWE, an arm of Elizabeth Women Empowerment Initiative, was also to commemorate the 50th birthday of the PWE founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mrs Bukayo Ajani-Animashaun.

Commending the government for the various support to the managers of the various social support homes in the state in terms of training and networking, Marcus said with more financial support from the government, care givers and social service providers will do more in ensuring that social miscreants in the society are highly reduced.
Noting that the about 90 children in the homes are being catered for on the goodwill of willing donors, Marcus thanked the PWE for the donations, promising that the items will be used for the purpose for which they were donated.
