Support Groups for Pregnant Women
Jump to navigation. In Kenya, one in 26 babies die before they reach their first birthday. But mums are powerful. By creating pregnancy support groups, we can arm mums with the information they need to keep their babies safe. These groups provide the kind of vital information and support that any mum in the UK would have access to through a smartphone app, her local NCT group or on Mumsnet!
Our two small, community-based group homes offer teen mothers and their babies a stable place to live while they prepare for independence. Located on tree-lined streets in Queens, each house is a temporary home to three moms and their babies. The houses feature private bedrooms for each pair, computer rooms, playrooms, and large backyards with picnic benches and playground equipment. Caring for an infant or toddler is hard work. Staff members work with the moms, helping them understand childhood development, practice new parenting skills, and support each other. They also learn to cook, how to budget, and how to manage a household.
