Advocacy & Awareness Creation
Through interactive sessions, community campaigns, mentoring, and collaboration with local leaders and Ward Education Officers, we ensure communities are informed, engaged, and supportive of girls’ rights.
Young Strong Mothers Foundation
About Us
In Tanzania, 1 in 4 girls aged 15–19 is already pregnant or a young mother (UNICEF). Teenage pregnancies, school dropouts, and child marriages trap countless girls in cycles of poverty and stigma, especially in rural communities where access to education and healthcare is limited.
Born from lived experience, Young Strong Mothers Foundation (YSMF) was founded by Jackie Bomboma, who overcame teenage pregnancy, rejection, and abuse. Today, YSMF works to rescue, support, and empower vulnerable girls and young mothers by providing education opportunities, economic empowerment, and a voice for their rights. Our mission is simple: to give girls and young mothers a second chance to learn, thrive, and rewrite their stories with dignity.
