📋 Tender Overview
The activity brought together universities, institutes and public entities to promote the educational continuity of adolescents close to reaching the age of majority.With a day aimed at expanding educational opportunities and facilitating access to State services for vulnerable adolescents and young people, the National Comprehensive Program for Family Welfare (Inabif), of the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations (MIMP), held in Piura the Educational, Multi-service and Accompaniment Fair for the Collection of Economic Assistance provided by the State to orphaned girls, boys and adolescents.
The day, led by the Minister of Women and Vulnerable Populations, Edith Pariona Valer, and the executive director of Inabif, Melina Locatelli Alfaro, included the participation of regional and local authorities, as well as representatives of various public and higher education institutions, who provided information to the nearly 2,000 participating families.
Our commitment is to firmly accompany each girl, boy, adolescent and young person in a situation of orphanhood. We not only provide them with economic support, but we bring them the tools of the State and academic options so that they can build a solid and autonomous life project, highlighted Minister Edith Pariona Valer during the meeting.
Educational continuity
During the fair, adolescents and young people close to turning 18 received detailed guidance on the higher education alternatives available in the region.
Likewise, specialized personnel guided them in the procedure to request the continuity of financial assistance, in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 31405, a rule that promotes the protection and comprehensive development of this population.
Various universities, institutes and technical training centers in Piura concentrated their academic offerings on site, allowing beneficiaries to interact directly with advisors and learn about the entry requirements and available scholarships.
Impact on the Piura region
Currently, Inabif, through the Economic Assistance and Support Unit, grants this benefit bimonthly to 100,255 orphaned girls, boys and adolescents nationwide.
In the Piura region, the program serves 9,767 beneficiaries distributed in the provinces of Ayabaca, Huancabamba, Morropon, Paita, Piura, Sechura, Sullana and Talara.
Of this total number, a group of 1,085 adolescents are close to reaching the age of majority, which is why this fair was consolidated as a strategic space to ensure that they continue studying and maintain the financial subsidy under the current legal framework.
With this successful intervention, the MIMP, through Inabif, reaffirmed its policy of decentralization and social support, guaranteeing in an articulated manner the full exercise of the fundamental rights of the populations that need it most.
