Early pregnancy takes up a huge part of a teenager’s life. Some had to quit school and look for a job. Others had to engage in illegal activities out of helplessness and lack of financial independence.

The Women’s Fund of Central Ohio showed that only one-third of teen mothers obtain a high school diploma. And children of teen mothers are also less likely to complete high school and have lower performance on standardized tests. It does not stop there. Women are also more likely to struggle in raising a child alone, compared to men. The Center for Community Solutions reported that female-headed households are more than twice as likely to live in poverty compared to male-headed households. And we see greater disparities for children because they are five times as likely to be poor as children in married-couple households, and more than twice in male-headed households.

If the government gives lesser and lesser regard, more women will enter adulthood uneducated, jobless, and poor. But nobody wants that because women have dreams! One could be our next president in the United States. One could be a disaster relief volunteer. One could be a scientist discovering a historical breakthrough. One could be the next Oprah Winfrey, making significant changes to millions of people’s lives. The possibilities are just endless!

All they need is someone to believe in them through women's improvement. And this is where we take action.
