At a minor age, they have responsibilities to care for themselves and their babies. This puts them at higher risk of early marriages, sexual exploitation, and gender-based violence. MCFP equips teenage mothers with vocational technical skills in garment making and cosmetology as well as life skills.

After the training, teenage moms who will have attained working age are connected to career prospects at the garment-making export processing zone (EPZ) and beauty sectors where MCFPanairobi has a memorandum of understanding.

Teenage moms under the age of 18 years are given seed capital to start micro-enterprises in garment-making or cosmetology. Our approach transition teenage moms from having little power, voice, and choice to having the abilities, resources, and opportunities toward their economic independence to take care of themselves and their babies.

Through life skill training the project restore hope, dignity, and resilience that will contribute to building their agency as young women.
