To ensure the effective execution of our programs and achieve lasting impact, SAM has developed strategic implementation approaches grounded in community needs, past experiences, and innovative solutions. These approaches guide how we work with adolescent girls, teenage mothers, and vulnerable communities in Trans-Nzoia County and beyond.
SAM adopts a bottom-up approach by engaging communities as co-creators of change. Through intergenerational dialogues, peer-led sessions, and mentorship programs, we empower girls and teenage mothers to take leadership in their development.
SAM ensures that interventions are guided by evidence-based data, research, and community feedback to enhance program effectiveness, influence policy, and advocate for adolescent girls' and teenage mothers' rights.
SAM integrates gender-sensitive programming by addressing power dynamics, structural inequalities, and harmful norms that limit opportunities for adolescent girls and teenage mothers. This includes challenging stereotypes, promoting equal access to resources, and creating supportive environments for their growth.
SAM's work is rooted in the principles of equity, dignity, and social justice. We ensure that teenage mothers, adolescent girls, and marginalized communities can exercise their rights to education, health, and economic empowerment while holding duty-bearers accountable.
To maximize impact and sustainability, SAM collaborates with government agencies, civil society organizations, private sector players, and local leaders to strengthen service delivery and resource mobilization.
SAM prioritizes rural outreach, particularly in mountainous, hard-to-reach areas and informal settlements where adolescent girls and teenage mothers face the greatest challenges.
SAM engages in youth-led advocacy for policies that promote girls' access to education, economic opportunities, gender equality, and protection from gender-based violence.
SAM leverages social media, storytelling, and mainstream media to raise awareness, amplify the voices of teenage mothers, and drive advocacy for systemic change.
SAM works closely with local leaders, schools, and healthcare providers to develop tailored solutions that address specific community challenges, ensuring sustainable and impactful interventions.
SAM actively involves men and boys as allies in promoting positive masculinity, gender equity, and the protection of adolescent girls and teenage mothers from exploitation and discrimination.
Our strategic approaches are designed to create sustainable, community-driven solutions. By working together, we can transform the lives of adolescent girls and teenage mothers in Trans-Nzoia County and beyond.
