Sauti Moja's Girl-Mother Program assists in several important ways, including: • Ensure that each girl has access to good medical care in support of healthy pregnancy and safe delivery. • Mediate with the families of the girl to encourage them to stay open to ongoing educational opportunities rather than forced, early marriage for the girl. • Secure scholarships for the girl mother in support of continuing education at private school for those girls whose families are unable to afford this. • Monitoring the health of the baby through regular visits with the caregiver, and ensure that the child is developing normally in a safe environment. • Provide on-going one-on-one counsel to the girls, reproductive health and life skills training, and on a broader level, sexual and reproductive health education in schools. !
