The young mothers and their babies project has been hit by alot of challenges up to date, the number of  school drop out among young girls has risen with 65% percent due to the long school holidays resulting from covid pandemic and lock downs.

Teenage pregnancy has also risen to 85% calling for urgent services for needy single adolescent mothers and their babies, we are overwhelmed with the demand that we can nolonger cope whitout both financial and material assistance.

1. We are requesting for financial assistance to enble us feed the young mothers with their babies, cater for their medical needs, provide self employment life skills to the young mothers, purchasing materials and other assorted accesories for the life skill class.

2. We also request for material donations because the cases we are handling are very needy cases which need e.g clothing, bedings, baby coats, bay walkers,sanitary pads, pampers, shoes, assorted toys for our day care including physical fitness equipment for the children's play ground

Since last year when covid 19 stiked the world, we have been having it very rough because the number of teenage mother went up by 100% due to long school holidays, carfew , lock down and idleness.

Many girls where not able to report back to school this year due to either they are expectant or have delivered and nobody to stay around with their babies if they go back to school.

We are overwelmed by the number of young mothers wanting to join our program both in the urban and rural. Unfortunately we were forced to close down due to lack of funds as our target are from very remote and poor communities. This are the target whose parents/ gurdians can not afford to pay for services they depend on relief food.
