Becoming a young mother may be hard to understand, but imagine being failed, hurt and abandoned by your family. Imagine the trauma and your desparate search for the love and security your family should have provided. From this perspective, sometimes it seems the only way to find the unconditional love and belonging you lack is to create your own family. Supporting young mothers @ the margin is not only the right thing to do, but it is also a good value proposition. By providing services that encourage empowerment, health, stability and economic self-sufficiency, we can end the dependency on social welfare systems that have plagued their families for generations.
