Story

In some communities in Ghana, teenage pregnancy is on the rise among teenagers as young as fifteen. Contributing it to the lack of sex education and the provision of needed materials for sex education, birth control and proper education or learning of skills. It brought a couple of friends and me sadness and that's why a couple of friends and I took it upon ourselves to start this cause. It is focused on helping these young children enroll in school, help provide the necessary education and testing to help them understand the impact of their actions and their health statuses. To help teach some young mothers skills to help them cater for their children and eradicate the uneducated and employed young mothers in our society. We also want to encourage the young ones on abstinence, how to report sexual assault, the use of protection and the reward it yields in the long run. We want to break the cycle of teenage motherhood and the lifelong regrets that mothers live with which will make them bitter toward their children. Help my friends and me make our dream possible. Your donations will make us realise our goals of creating a better environment and breaking the stereotype against teenage pregnancy and mothers in some Ghanaian communities.
