Empowerment of teenage mothers

We strongly believe that educating teenage mothers and preventing teen pregnancy is a highly effective and efficient way to break the intergenerational teenage pregnancy and poverty cycles and improve the overall child and family well-being.

This program aims to uplift and empower teenage mothers by providing the tools necessary to positively transform their lives, as well as that of their children. It focuses on:

  • Providing financial assistance to cover their hospital and delivery bills
  • Encouraging and helping to stay or return to school by paying their tuition fees and  education material (a daycare service is also planned in the long term).
  • Providing sex education counselling in an effort to prevent repeated unwanted pregnancy.
