- Raise awareness about available opportunities; through our tailored programs on educational programmes, vocational training (tailoring, baking, weaving, hairdressing etc) career development pathways to uplift their livelihoods and reduce poverty and dependency
- Spiritual sessions to strengthen them through motivational speeches, group discussions and reflection circles and sermons
- Fostering a strong community network and collaboration between teen mothers and girls and the local community and organizations, the connections and relationships will encourage mutual support and mentorship among all the groups at a community level.
Period Poverty Eradication
Period poverty is the economic struggle many low-income women and girls face in affording menstrual products. This financial burden leads to missed school days and important activities. A girl missing four days of school every four weeks due to her period can result in a 10 to 20 percent absence. As a consequence, they fall behind in life, impacting their future aspirations and perpetuating the stigma surrounding menstruation and gender equality.
Our purpose is to ensure affordable and accessible menstrual hygiene products in schools and communities. Young Wombs support initiatives that empower women and girls economically, as financial constraints often contribute to period poverty. This could involve vocational training, entrepreneurship programs, and income-generating activities.
