| The Challenge | |
 |
Teenage mothers from Diabene suffer from an inability to fund essential life needs of their children and themselves due to a lack of knowledge of reproductive rights, family planning, healthy family dynamics and a lack of job skills, and vocational and entrepreneurial training—leading to poor health and nutrition, and an inability for children to remain in school and for the young mothers to participate in income generating activities. |
| Help 20 young families enjoy improved livelihoods, nutrition and educational access | |
 |
Participate in this 18-month training program where teenage mothers from Diabene will learn reproductive rights, family planning and develop job skills and literacy, allowing young mothers to participate in income generating activities and to provide better nutrition and educational opportunities for their children and leading them to become prosperous, productive members of their communities. |
