Day by day , little by little, a little here ,a little there, we are going to have the the Community Focus Group centre.Someone quoted that "Rome was not build in a day "
That is what crowdfunding is about each one ,brings the little they have and we put all the little we have together and it becomes alot , that is the route we continue to take concerning the CFG centre.
It may take awhile to gather the little by little which in turn is going to be much as we gear up in our dream for a CFG centre.Step by step ,day by day ,we are going to be patient.
Because the only way is UP!

Why We Need The CFG Centre
By Pamela Ateka | Team leader
Teenage pregnancy and subsequent motherhood presents a major challenge to a girl child who has no social support from family, friends and the community. Community Focus Group (CFG) believed in the future of these girls and developed a program to identify and empower the most vulnerable teen mothers in Kenya. As an organization we aim to offer these young mothers access to education and economic empowerment through training and skills building. Several of the young girls in Kenya have conceived as a result of rape or sexual violence among other circumstances. Community Focus Group agenda is to offer these girls a chance to rewrite their future free of judgment or condemnation. The goal of the project is to equip the young girls with skills and expertise to enable them to earn a living and change their live and support their children.
The project target is to reach out to 100 teen mothers per county faced with high rate of teen pregnancy below the age of 19 years. The skill development training include and not limited to tailoring, baking/cooking, beads work, basketry, beauty and hair dressing, entrepreneurship training (they are instructed also on how to develop a business plan, start a business and save money) and back to school program option (they are provided with adult education, formal and non-formal education).
The CFG centre will be An educational, skills training centre as well as a rescue centre ,a place of refuge and security for teenage mothers
