Overcoming Challenges for Mothers
YoungMomsRise, a transformative initiative, supports young mothers in overcoming challenges. This program helps them return to school or gain life skills through TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) programs, ensuring they can build a better future for themselves and their children.
Education and Skills for Young Mothers
YoungMomsRise also provides essential education and care for their children, aiming to reduce teenage pregnancy, ignorance, and disease. We actively involve the mothers of these young women in assisting with childcare, enabling the young mothers to focus on their education and training.
Our support includes family planning services to prevent further pregnancies and counseling to help young mothers achieve their dreams. We educate them on long-term contraceptive options and facilitate their reintegration into schools.
