Description
Hello Workawayers!
My name is Stacy Nick, a 23-year-old Kenyan and recent graduate with a Bachelor of Laws. I am deeply passionate about children’s rights, especially the rights of teen mothers, and I plan to dedicate my future legal career to this cause.
With the support of my family, friends, and well-wishers, I started a Teen Mothers Empowerment Program in 2020. Since then, we have supported over 20 teen mothers and more than 15 vulnerable children within our community in Oyugis, Homabay County.
The program was born out of a need to respond to the rising cases of teenage pregnancies, early marriages, and school dropouts in our region, which often lead to cycles of poverty. I strongly believe that when teen mothers are empowered through education, psychosocial support, and practical skills, they can break free from poverty, care for their children, and uplift their families.
What We Do
Provide full scholarships, mentorship, counseling, shelter, and a safe family environment for our beneficiaries.
Partner with the Department of Children Services in Oyugis, through which we receive referrals of vulnerable cases such as abandoned babies, total orphans, and lost children.
Develop a safe home on land we purchased outside town, where girls can grow up in a nurturing and protective environment.
Run a Football Academy and Badminton Training Program for both boys and girls, with the dream of building a Sports Academy.
Offer talent and skills training, where each girl chooses an area of interest such as tailoring, computer literacy, or arts, giving them the tools to save for their future and become self-reliant.
