Background. Our aim is to help channel resources to improves lives of the highly vulnerable and underserved adolescent girls who are pregnant or those raising a child(ren). Since inception, 380 teenage mothers and equal number of children have been supported, empowered, rehabilitated and reintegrated to the society. Dealing with teenage mothers presents unique situations which require diversification in provision of solutions. In this,we have not only reached out to the teenage mothers but the community in which they live as well. Currently we conduct activities in five districts, Bugiri, Iganga, Jinja Kamuli and Wakiso, which have highest rates of teenage pregnancy in the country. Even though these are not the only districts facing the challenge of teenage motherhood, TMCSF is willing to extend its activities to the rest of the districts across the country and to work with various partners in the service delivery. We have also aligned our programs to contribute to SDGs. The goals have been localized and they include goal 1. End poverty, 3. Good Health and wellbeing, 5. Gender equality, 10. Reduced inequalities, 16.
Peace, justice and strong institutions and 17. Partnerships for the goals. Our programs cover, research and advocacy on teenage motherhood and challenges they face, protection of teenage mothers and their child(ren), capacity building for the teenagers, teenage mothers and the communities in the most affected districts,rehabilitation and reintegration of teenagers who leave/ are chased out of their homes orhave negative reception in their homes and community and most important, guidi ng and counseling for the teenagers and teenage mothers.
