  Description

  About Me and Organization
  
  My name is Stacy, a 23-year-old lawyer and the founder of a charitable organization based in Oyugis Town, Homabay County, Kenya. I come from a supportive family with six siblings and loving parents who actively contribute to our programs.
  
  Our Mission
  
  The organisation is dedicated to empowering teen mothers, particularly girls who have been victims of defilement. We rescue them from harmful environments and provide counseling, mentorship, education, and a safe home during their rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
  
  In addition, we support needy children, including orphans, through scholarship programs to help them access basic education.
  
  Our Initiatives
  
  Teen Mothers Empowerment Program: We offer a safe and nurturing environment where these young mothers receive education, counseling, and mentorship.
  
  Scholarship Program: We provide financial support to needy children to pursue their education.
  
  Football Academy: Recently launched to nurture talents in both boys and girls among our beneficiaries. Though still in its early stages, we are optimistic about its future success.
  
  School Mentorship Programs: We promote a period-friendly Africa by distributing sanitary towels to needy schoolgirls, offering food supplies, conducting sensitization sessions, and providing scholarships.
  
  Why We Do This
  
  The motivation behind stems from the alarming rise of teen pregnancy in Kenya, especially in Homabay County, which also faces high rates of HIV/AIDS, defilement, abortion, early marriages, school dropouts, drug abuse, and poverty. Having witnessed close friends endure these challenges—often forced into early marriages due to teen pregnancy and poverty—I am committed to fighting for the rights and futures of vulnerable girls. Through our programs, we offer rescue, education, community support, and mentorship, giving them hope and a chance to rebuild their lives.
  
  Impact and Success
  
  We have successfully conducted holiday tuition programs that combine academic classes in the morning, football training in the afternoon, and talent showcases or motivational talks in the evening. These efforts have improved the girls’ academic performance and outlook on life. To date, we have positively impacted over 35 girls, their babies, and families, with most beneficiaries returning to school and embracing education.
  
  Our success is made possible by university friends who offer guidance and counseling, volunteers who provide childcare and teaching, and our dedicated organizational team ensuring smooth program operations.
  
  Join Us
  
  We warmly welcome Workaway volunteers who wish to be part of this transformative journey. There is no fee to volunteer with us, and we invite anyone whose values align with our mission to join our team and make a difference.
  
  Thank you for your interest and support.
