Youth and Sports Minister Jese Saukuru, today reassured young street dwellers that they are valued and would not be forgotten.
He delivered the message while addressing youth participating in an Easter Camp in Lautoka.
The 46 participants, who previously lived on the streets, are currently undergoing empowerment and skills training.
The Minister said for far too long, the youths have been overlooked and promised a better future for them.
“Your government sees you, and we will continue to stand by you at all times. Our Ministry is here to give you a second chance.”
Saukuru added that the youth now have something to count on – a promise of support and a clear path toward becoming empowered and productive members of society.
He encouraged them to embrace the training they’ve received, as it would prepare them for a better future.
Minister Saukuru also reminded them that they are called for greatness and should never look down on themselves.
