Project Year
July 2019 – September 2021
Impact
This project allowed us to better understand the specific issues facing teen mothers in Rwanda. With this information, we are more equipped to lobby for changes that will actually assist in the reintegration of teen mothers into society, especially legal reintegration. Thanks to this project, we provided legal aid services to teen mothers in Nyanza and therein increased their understanding of their rights and how to claim them.
