SDI will provide micro-credit, medical care coverage, and training to 100 teen mothers in Fako. Help empower teen mothers to use entrepreneurship and voices to build public support for social change.
Nearly 70% of Fako teen mothers are dependent and only 5% can raise their voice of family and community activities. To understand and solve this crisis, we need to look at the problem through mothers initiatives. Through this project, 100 vulnerable teen mothers will be given medical care coverage, micro credit, training and opportunity to voice the causes and consequences of their plight, to identify solutions and to engage the society and policy makers to support those solutions in Cameroon.
Teen mothers will attend workshops to learn how to look critically at issues and challenges they face and how to advocate for solutions. “Entrepreneurship, micro credit, medical care coverage, and advocacy give power and need to be used wisely".Anna
With entrepreneurship, micro credit,Advocacy, child care practices, leadership, medical care coverage, and child care practices, 100 teen mothers’ productivity will increase and entire families and communities will be positively impacted.
“It is good to be heard and not only seen.It pays off to be an entrepreneur and share your voice, experience and wealth.With this project, teen mothers will be noticed,heard and will make a difference
