Chanua Msichana Initiative meaning enlighten a gir
Am a RN/M, I teach and counsel girls and young mothers in slums and villages about menstrual, safe birth, family planning, mentorship, discourage early marriages, discard retrogressive practices like Female Genital Mutilation, spiritual intervention and motivate them to go back to school & college.
My work is very important; currently the situation has become worse and the number of abortions that are not done by doctors has increased, often leading to complications and even deaths after the abortion. And my work is having a strong impact.
So far, I've helped share information and knowledge, and have actually helped a significant number of teenage mothers go back to school; some others have even started their own small businesses.
I therefore humbly request to funds to enable me to reach out to a larger number of vulnerable girls & young mothers who suffer silently with no help in slums & in the villages.
