Empowering Futures: Breaking the Cycle of Teenage Motherhood and Child Marriages

Most teens enter parenthood unprepared for the stress a new baby brings, and many
experience frustration, resentment, and even anger toward their newborns. The fathers of the children abandon many of these girls and they are faced with a responsibility of raising children while they are still children themselves.

Teenage Care Uganda

WHO WE ARE

Teenage Care Uganda was prompted by the high rates of teenage pregnancies, a high teenage mother mortality rate, increasing number of school drop outs, the increasing spread of HIV/AIDS among teenagers, a high number of children mothering fellow children at a tender age and domestic violence among those forced in early marriage.

Our focus is on providing teenage mothers with the tools they need to thrive, including vocational training, entrepreneurship skills, and access to health services.

RESETTLEMEN TPROGRAMS

Teenage Care Uganda helps rehabilitate, reconcile and resettle teenage mothers who have been sent away from home because they are pregnant. Many parents become angry, harsh and aggressive towards their daughters when they conceive and usually chase them away from home.

 

Educational Opportunities

Many teenage mothers are forced to drop out of school due to pregnancy. We aim to provide them with a second chance by offering educational opportunities and that of their school going children.
