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 is legally registered as an all-inclusive, non- partisan, Community
Based Non-Profit organization under the registration number MYG/DNGOMC/142,
working to help/aid pregnant and teenage mothers with basic necessities and moral
support, instilling hope and confidence through empowering and inspiring the teenage
mothers with practical skills, working to prevent the overwhelming and increasing number
of teenage pregnancies among others.
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.

WHAT WE DO
SKILLING TEENAGE MOTHERS

PREVENTIVE PROGRAMS
These are programs geared to reduce the number of girls getting pregnant and the number of young people involved in early sexual activity. These activities include school outreaches, community outreaches to sensitize the girls, community leaders and general population on the dangers of early involvement in sex.

TCU ensures that the mother is attending her antenatal care at a local medical facility, providing her with the necessary birth materials, food, baby clothes among others. We also offer Prenatal and post-natal classes to prepare the teenage mother for the practical side of parenthood. These classes address issues like child feeding, child safety, hygiene, and other basic baby care techniques.
SUPPORT FOR THE CHILD BORN TO THE TEENAGE MOTHER
Teenage Care Uganda engages in various activities to support babies born to teenage mothers, including providing maternal health services, psychosocial support, nutrition programs, and educational opportunities. These initiatives aim to enhance child development and empower young mothers
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.
We Cannot Do This Alone
