One Girl, One Plan
Teenage motherhood, HIV vulnerability, school dropout, and poverty arrive together, so our five program areas work together around every girl.
Psychosocial Support
Counselling, peer groups, and mentorship that help girls heal from trauma and stigma before anything else.
Health & HIV Referrals
Linkage and accompaniment to HIV testing and care, PMTCT, antenatal and postnatal services, and child health.
Education & School Re-entry
Fees, re-entry negotiation, tutoring, and childcare so young mothers can go back to school, and stay.
Livelihoods & FAHARI
Vocational training, savings, and our Project FAHARI housing and asset-building model for economic independence.
Family Strengthening
Parenting and caregiver support, informed by approaches like Sinovuyo, that rebuilds the home around each girl.

Why the Lake Victoria Region
Around Lake Victoria, two crises overlap: the former Nyanza region has long carried some of the highest HIV prevalence in Kenya, and teenage pregnancy here is closely tied to HIV risk. When a girl becomes a mother at fifteen, she often loses school, family, and safety at once. Responding to teenage motherhood here means responding to HIV prevention, maternal health, and stigma at the same time, which is exactly how our programs are built.
1 in 4teenage girls in Homa Bay County has begun childbearing, one of the highest rates in Kenya, well above the national average of 15% (Kenya Demographic and Health Survey, 2022)
Built for partnership
NGO Board-registered since 2020 · advisory committee oversight · CPA-led finances · child safeguarding and PSEA commitments · case-managed programmes with tracked results. Due diligence documents are available to partners on request.
How we stay accountableSimple technology, human touch
No smartphone needed: girls stay connected by SMS, calls, and WhatsApp on basic phones, digital case records make sure no one falls through the cracks, and support moves by M-Pesa, traceable to the last shilling.
How we use technologyIn Their Own Words
Stories shared with consent and told with dignity. Names are changed and photos are representative to protect each girl’s privacy.
