Young Parents Empowering Program

the problem

In Liberia, 31% of teenagers are becoming parents, many without the resources or support they need, leaving both young mothers and fathers struggling to provide the care their children deserve

Teenage pregnancy is on the rise in Liberia, with 31% of teenagers becoming parents - many without the financial, emotional, or parenting support they need. Too often, these young mothers and fathers face overwhelming challenges, from poverty and lack of resources to circumstances beyond their control such as exploitation or survival pressures. This reality not only impacts their own futures but also raises serious concerns for the care and wellbeing of their children. Alarmingly, about 30% of teenage pregnancies end in abortion, reflecting the urgent need for support, guidance, and hope for young parents across the country
