Our Approach & Interventions
We’re on a mission to equip, educate, and empower teenage mothers and at‑risk girls by connecting them to education, healthcare, mentorship, and sustainable livelihood support.
Together with our partners, donors, and community network, MWWYEF is building an ecosystem where girls and young mothers can thrive with dignity and opportunity.
Education Reintegration
We remove practical and social barriers to schooling so that teenage mothers can resume learning without stigma. Support includes scholarships, school supplies, child‑care support, and transport bursaries for rural learners.
We work with schools to implement re‑entry policies, train teachers on adolescent‑friendly practices, and run catch‑up tutoring and exam preparation clubs to reduce dropout and improve results.
Maternal & Child Health
Through adolescent‑friendly clinics, counseling, and postnatal services, we address physical and emotional needs of young mothers and their children. Services cover ANC/PNC, immunization linkage, nutrition, and mental health first aid.
Community health sessions focus on respectful care, partner involvement, and early child development, improving outcomes for both mother and baby.
Menstrual Health & Hygiene
We distribute reusable sanitary products, provide menstrual literacy training, and improve WASH practices to keep girls in school with dignity.
Parent and community dialogues help end stigma, while school MHM clubs train peer champions who sustain good practices and safe facilities.
Skills Training & Economic Empowerment
We offer market‑relevant vocational training (e.g., tailoring, agri‑enterprise, digital skills), business mentorship, and seed capital to build self‑sufficiency for young mothers.
Graduates join savings groups, gain access to micro‑grants, and receive coaching on pricing, record‑keeping, and customer acquisition to turn skills into income.
Engaging Boys & Men
We run workshops, peer forums, and mentorship programs for boys and young men to challenge harmful gender norms, promote respectful relationships, and foster accountability.
Male role models co‑lead sessions on consent, shared caregiving, and positive masculinity—building supportive peer environments that reduce violence and early pregnancy.
Advocacy & Policy Engagement
We collaborate with county leaders, schools, and health facilities to strengthen the enforcement of protection laws, operationalize school re‑entry guidelines, and expand adolescent‑friendly services.
Data from our programs inform county plans and budgets; we also train community champions to monitor service quality and report barriers faced by girls and young mothers.
