At Smile Again Mountain (SAM), we believe in addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by adolescent girls and teenage mothers through integrated, evidence-based programs. Our interventions are designed to create lasting change by tackling the root causes of vulnerability while building resilience and self-sufficiency.
Our three core program areas work in synergy to provide comprehensive support that transforms lives and communities in Trans-Nzoia County. Each program addresses critical aspects of empowerment—health, economic independence, and education—creating pathways to dignity, equality, and sustainable livelihoods.
Empowering adolescent girls and teenage mothers to live free from violence, discrimination, and preventable health risks through GBV prevention, SRHR education, and mental health support.
45% of women and girls in Kenya have experienced some form of GBV, with rural areas like Trans-Nzoia reporting higher cases.
Enhancing economic resilience among adolescent girls and teenage mothers through vocational training, entrepreneurship support, and market linkages to reduce vulnerability and dependency.
Over 60% of teenage mothers in rural Kenya remain unemployed or in unstable, low-income jobs.
Reducing barriers to education for adolescent girls and teenage mothers through school re-entry support, alternative learning options, and mentorship to enhance lifelong learning opportunities.
Only 38% of girls who drop out due to pregnancy resume their studies in Trans-Nzoia County.
Our programs are designed to work together, creating a comprehensive support system that addresses the interconnected challenges faced by adolescent girls and teenage mothers in Trans-Nzoia County.
By addressing these interconnected areas simultaneously, we create sustainable pathways out of vulnerability and toward empowerment.
Your support can help us expand our programs and reach more adolescent girls and teenage mothers in Trans-Nzoia County. Together, we can create lasting change and transform lives.
