150 teenage mothers go back to school and develop their careers, start small business and be great, empowered women. We are also providing a safe children centre for the teenage mothers.
5.5 million Girls between 15 and 19 years give birth annually in sub-Saharan Africa. 62% estimated mothers in sub-Sahara Africa are between ages 15- 19. In Kenya Poverty and deprivation are major factors contributing to teenage pregnancy. More school girls submit to early sex in exchange of money. 'We are helping orphaned teenage mothers to live their dream again through access to education, business and provision of care centre for their children' Gichuki Francis, Executive Director.
Provide loans to women to start business and provide child care services, nutrition and healthcare.
This project helps 150 orphaned teenage mothers to get education and develop their careers thus increase their income to support their children , families and positively influence the society to value girls.
I can now educate my girl, aged 10 whom I gave birth to at the age of 14. I lost my parents. and dropped out of school. Thanks to the project I am working as an accountant after going back to school.
