She never went to visit friends and any time they came visiting she would hide. The world had come to an end for her. ‘ When I attended CIFORD meeting for young mothers, my life changed as I realized I was not the only one who had a child in my age.

    Issues

    CIFORD Kenya continues receiving more requests from these young girls who are in distress. Most of the girls get children when they are not prepared, Their parents are very hostile and some of them are thrown out of family houses. These girls have no hope as the fathers of the children leave them. This has left these girls desperate and some end up getting into depression.

    CIFORD Kenya will continue to support these young mothers and engage the parents to support them.

    Our trainings will continue to empower these girls economically and in issues of health.
