My cousin who was pregnant by age FOURTEEN, just put this status on Facebook…
Please stop glamorizing teenage pregnancy. The girl is a single mother, on welfare, a junior in high school & her next status was complaining about not being able to go to Prom…… ??♀️??? pic.twitter.com/QLpVPgIcoX

The project, currently being piloted with 150 teenage mothers in four Nairobi informal settlements, has three phases. The first phase, conducted between August and November 2018, consisted of facilitated meetings with the teenage mothers to create an inventory of different types and sources of stress in their daily lives. We used participatory methodologies such as Photo Voice to collect information. Photo Voice is particularly attractive among adolescents as it allows them to express problems and challenges in their lives through photos taken themselves.
