Who They Are:

Teenage pregnancy is a prevalent issue in many African countries, with adolescent girls facing significant challenges due to early motherhood. These young mothers often come from disadvantaged backgrounds, often lacking access to education, healthcare, and decent economic opportunities. Child mothers, in particular, face heightened vulnerabilities as they navigate the responsibilities of motherhood at a young age, often without adequate support systems.

Where They Are:

Teenage pregnancy and child mothers are found across various regions of Africa, but they are particularly prevalent in rural areas with limited access to education and healthcare. However, urban areas also face this issue due to factors such as poverty, lack of sexual education, and cultural norms.
