This was BIG! Labotiet – Siongiroi , Bomet County
The DLSF reached out to 206 teenagers, teenage mothers and community leaders. Speaking at the event, the DLSF Founder Ms. Daisy Kosgey sensitized the girls on negative effects of teenage pregnancies including; dropping out of school, poor health of the young mothers, lack of basic needs, poverty and the vicious cycle where babies born of teens may end up as teen mothers. She asked the girls to avoid behaviors that would make them pregnant at an early age.
In addition, a partner to the Foundation Ms Memo Maritim cautioned the girls against early marriages noting that ‘marriage is not a solution to teenage pregnancy’ and that teenage mothers should seek knowledgeable support and advice to avoid falling into that trap.
The team donated books and sanitary pads to the teenage girls and founded a Labotiet Sister’s Keeper Club in the locality. The club members will continue the work of the Foundation in Chepalungu Constituency.
DLSF thanks all our friends of the Foundation for the great support in achieving this milestone.
