YSMF works to identify and support the most vulnerable adolescent girls who are at risk of school dropout, child marriage, or exposure to transactional sex, which can lead to teenage pregnancy.

  • Holistic Support: We provide bicycles to overcome long distances to school, school materials, uniforms, and mentorship to ensure regular attendance and academic success.
  • Teenage Mothers’ Re-entry Program: Teenage mothers who have dropped out of school are supported to return to formal education, ensuring they complete their studies and gain future opportunities.
  • Nursery School: For children under five of teenage mothers, we run a nursery program that provides quality early learning, care, and preparation for primary school.

How we do it: We collaborate with schools, community leaders, and families to track progress, offer guidance, and remove barriers preventing girls from staying in or returning to school.
