The talking is over..everything going on in our young mums empowerment sessions is as practical as it will ever get. This past weekend was no different.
Injections were being administered and practical family planning trainings and consultations were the order of the day… all thanks to our partner Luton Hospital Foundation
After our physical visit to the hospital last month, the young mums requested to have a session at our training centre, where they could receive one on one consultation on the best family planning methods and receive the contraceptive of choice based on their preference and doctors recommendation.
Why did we go this route? The young mums are not comfortable going to the hospital to learn about contraceptives, there is also stigmatization around young mums seeking sexual health services. We brought the services to them.
Our facilitator for the day was Erina Oundo, the Deputy facility in charge at Pumwani Majengo Dispensary. Not only did she teach, she also offered free medical consultation for the girls or their sexual reproductive health, making room for them to seek her services at any time since the young mums come from Majengo slum, her area of work.
She came with a bag full of reproductive goodies, administering the different contraceptives to the young mums as they had requested.
Every young mum deserves access to proper family planning, and with the support from our partners like The Luton Hospital we are playing our part in ensuring this is a reality..
Our journey continues.

GBV prevention and seeking justice is not a one person task, it is a united front issue. It is not a women only issue, but a national issue. We all have a part to play in ensuring GBV culture comes to an end in Kenya. Are you playing your part?? We are….

Kuwakumbusha tu!…🙂 Our classes for the young mums are still ongoing…
Our volunteers Maggy Mavin has begun her sessions with the young mums. She is a multi talented business woman who is flourishing in the hair business. She makes and sells wigs, hair extensions across the country. She took time to make sure the young mums are equipped with this marketable skill. Our aim is to aims to promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all (SDG 8). This session involved learning where to purchase the materials at an affordable price, how to make the hair extensions, how to price the finished product and where to sell the finished product. We will have a separate class on how to market the hair extensions. This is the first of three sessions aimed at training the girls hands on practical skills in wig and extension making as a business. The journey continues…

And our practical sessions are officially on🥳🥳🥳🥳 our2026 cohort of young mums are not playing. They are bringing their A game. This class was inspiring, facilitated by our volunteer, Fiona Gichohi who runs a beauty school and her two apprentice students. This was an all hands practical session, where the young mums were taught all things manicure and pedicure. Each of them had to in turn practice what they learnt on another young mum. We know these skills will go a long way in ensuring the young mums are not only empowered into economic independence, but also to see themselves from a different angle..one where their image is a priority and they also get to feel good about themselves. This is how we choose to put SDG 5 and SDG 8 in action in this season. Do you have a skill you would like to empower the young mums with? Do reach out.

Let’s talk about family planning…here we do not walk on egg shells around certain topics. This past weekend we were at Luton Hospital with our young mums..for three particular reasons.
First reason being, we need a change of environment every so often for our classes, so we broke the monotony of the same venue..exposing the young ladies to a different environment. Second reason, we were giving the young mums an opportunity to heal their relationship with hospitals and how they relate to health care provision..why? Most of these young ladies have gone through traumatic experiences not just whilst delivering their babies, but also while seeking healthcare services for they and their babies..reason being? They are discriminated for being young mothers. We were healing that wound by visiting a hospital that believes in humane service delivery to all… The Luton Hospital and third and most important, we were going to learn about the different forms of family planning. Truth of the matter is most young mums do not know what type of family planning suits their body, and they go for any option available after their first baby.placing themselves at risk of the dangerous side effects and reactions. The knowledge they receive on family planning comes from friends and social media. We had a doctor from Luton take the young mums through an informative, practical session on family planning and it’s different menthods. Then he took time to answer all the girls questions on maternal health. Patiently making time for each of them and advising on individual cases. We finished the day by touring the hospital, including the upcoming VIP wing, giving room for the girls to experience and believe in their potential, capacity and right to also experience the best of healthcare that others do. This was an eye opening and encouraging experience for all our young mums. As we organize for the next session on ground after individual tests to ensure every young mum receives family planning care that aligns with their body, we would like to appreciate our partner Luton Hospital Foundation Foundation for all their support in this transformative program…and a big applause to our enkare

June babies for the win🥳🥳🥳
Our young mums classes are beautiful..beautiful because we make the most amazing memories, we exhale, we laugh together, we cry together and we celebrate together.
Here’s to all our June babies…and just as we did in May..our volunteer Kavindu chose to celebrate her birthday with the young mums..funny enough there were two of the mums who had birthdays on the same day including our facilitator Kennedy.. To top it all up, someone decided to bless the babies and the young mums with some beautiful baby clothes. Fun was had..every session we have is not just about learning, but also making positive memories that remind our young mums to live in the moment and believe that brighter days are coming…to making memories and celebrating life in every session.
