YOUNG MOTHERS

Hope, Strength, and New Beginnings

The Young Mothers Program is a 12-week initiative designed to empower adolescent mothers by providing comprehensive support that promotes social, educational, and economic independence while improving the health and wellbeing of both mother and child.

Through mentorship, life-skills development, and access to accurate health information, the program equips young mothers with the knowledge and confidence needed to make informed decisions about their futures.

Empowered Choices, Healthier Futures

The Stepping Stones programme continues to play a vital role in uplifting young mothers, equipping them with confidence, life skills, and the support needed to make healthier choices and build more secure, hopeful futures for themselves and their children.

Contaceptives

75% of participating girls and young women are able to identify at least two contraceptive methods.

Identifying Risk

60% of participants are now able to identify at least three strategies to reduce risky behaviours.

HIV Testing

Increased awareness of the importance of knowing their HIV status and HIV testing services.

Program Outcomes
and Impact

Following the program’s implementation, participating girls and young women have demonstrated a stronger understanding of contraceptive options and are actively applying this knowledge to prevent unplanned pregnancies, while also showing improved awareness of practical strategies to reduce risky behaviours.

These outcomes demonstrate the program’s impact in strengthening young women’s capacity to protect their health, pursue opportunities, and build more stable futures for themselves and their children.
