Core pillars
Three interconnected pillars, as set out in our constitution
Our strategic focus runs across three pillars at once, because a young person's mind, body and income are not separate concerns.
Pillar 1
Mental Health & Psychosocial Wellbeing
We work to destigmatise mental health challenges, adolescent pregnancy and emotional trauma among young people, and to make support easy to reach. Peer-led wellness circles create confidential, judgement-free space — including dedicated circles for teenage mothers living with post-partum depression, anxiety, isolation or social rejection — backed by referral pathways to trained professionals.
- Community sensitization to destigmatise mental health, adolescent pregnancy and emotional trauma
- Confidential peer-led support groups and wellness circles, including circles for teenage mothers
- Psychosocial referrals to certified counsellors, medical officers and psychological networks
Pillar 2
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)
Young people make safer decisions when information is accurate and they are treated with dignity. We deliver age-appropriate SRHR education to reduce adolescent pregnancy, prevent STIs and HIV and combat gender-based violence, connect young people and young mothers to youth-friendly health services, and champion bodily autonomy — including the right of teenage mothers to return to education after childbirth.
- Age-appropriate SRHR education to reduce adolescent pregnancy and prevent STIs/HIV
- Prevention work against gender-based violence and unsafe health practices
- Links to youth-friendly reproductive health services, maternal care and dignity kits
- Advocacy for bodily autonomy and school re-entry for teenage mothers
Pillar 3
Livelihoods, Skills Development & Economic Re-Integration
Wellbeing is hard to sustain without income. We deliver practical, market-aligned vocational, agricultural, digital and artisanal training, build life skills from financial literacy to positive parenting, and open doors through group savings, mentorship and enterprise or job linkages. Community-based childcare during sessions means young mothers can take part fully.
- Vocational, agricultural, digital and artisanal skills training aligned to local markets
- Life skills: emotional intelligence, positive parenting, financial literacy, communication, entrepreneurship and leadership
- Table-banking group savings, micro-mentorships and links to enterprise funds and job placement
- Community-based childcare during training so young mothers can participate fully
