Rising Mothers: Support for Teenage Mothers
Josephine Naggita
Uganda
This project is a community based initiative designed to support teenage mothers through emotional healing, self-worth development, and practical life skills training.
Teenage mothers often face stigma, rejection, and emotional distress, which affect their confidence and limit their opportunities. Many lack access to emotional support and practical guidance. This project aims to restore dignity, rebuild self-worth, and equip them with tools to create better future for themselves and their children.
It will involve regular support group sessions, guided discussions on self-esteem and relationships, and basic training in life skills as well as income-generating activities to promote independence.
