"Her Second Chance"
Young Mothers Empowerment Program
Many teenage mothers drop out of school, facing stigma and poverty. Through "Her Second Chance," we offer education re-entry, financial literacy, mentorship, and childcare support — giving them back their future.
Breaking the Cycle
In Kenya, approximately 13% of adolescent girls become mothers before age 18. Many are forced to drop out of school, facing social stigma, economic hardship, and limited opportunities for themselves and their children.
Without intervention, these young mothers often remain trapped in cycles of poverty, unable to complete their education or gain financial independence. Their children, in turn, face higher risks of poor health and educational outcomes.
