Young Mothers
In our dedicated program, we support eight young mothers and their infants, including a set of twins. Over the course of one year, these mothers are provided with the opportunity to acquire essential skills that will enable them to care for themselves and their children. It is important to note that the fathers of these children have abandoned the mothers, creating a need for additional support.
​
To aid their journey, each young mother is paired with a mentor who oversees their babies while they attend vocational school. This mentor not only helps ensure the well-being of the infants but also provides guidance on improving infant nutrition and personal hygiene. Additionally, the mentor leads daily devotional sessions in their dormitory, fostering a sense of community and support among the mothers.
​
Moreover, a counselor from the CHAIN Foundation meets with the mothers weekly, offering essential guidance and counseling to help them navigate their challenges and build a brighter future for themselves and their children.
