Girl-mother Empowerment program

Organization information

The Needy Today

Location: Makeni City, Sierra Leone

Summary

As an organisation we have identified that the girls-mother in communities are at risk. The issue of teenage mother dropping out of school, child marriage, a lack of gender balance in most professions, and a lack of sexual education. We would like to tackle these issues in the communities through skill training for teenage mothers. We also would like to support and encourage teenage mothers to return to school or support them to be able to start their own businesses or start an apprenticeship.
