⭐ 6. Young Mothers Support & Parenting Education Program
Our Purpose: Empower vulnerable mothers especially young, single, or first-time moms with knowledge, support, and emotional tools to raise healthy, confident, and school-ready children.
EXPANSION: Activities
Weekly or monthly workshops at local schools or CHOCU Learning Centers
Topics include:
▪Child development stages
▪Loving discipline without violence
▪Creating emotional safety
▪Talking to children with kindness
▪Building routines (mealtime, sleep, prayer)
▪Interactive teaching: drama, storytelling, role-play
👉 Many young mothers parent the way they were parented, often harsh, absent, or neglectful. These classes break the cycle by teaching them a better way.
➡️ Empowered mothers raise more secure, school-ready children.
▪Teach how to prepare balanced meals using local, affordable foods
▪Demonstrate food safety: washing hands, safe cooking, storing leftovers
▪Explain infant feeding, weaning, and breastfeeding best practices
▪Promote basic home hygiene: washing clothes, cleaning bedding, child sanitation
👉 These lessons prevent malnutrition, diarrhea, and respiratory infections the top killers of young children in rural Uganda.
➡️ Simple changes = life saved.
▪Small discussion circles for young mothers
▪Share personal stories of hardship, healing, and hope
▪Discuss postpartum emotions, anxiety, abuse, rejection, and fear
▪Encourage sisterhood, mutual support, and resilience
▪Offer spiritual encouragement (optional faith discussions)
▪Refer severe cases to local mental health nurses or clinics
👉 Young mothers often feel alone, ashamed, or overwhelmed. Emotional healing leads to better caregiving and often prevents child neglect.
▪Help mothers access antenatal care, immunizations, and postnatal services
▪Assist with transport or navigation to clinics
▪Educate on warning signs in infants (fever, diarrhea, weight loss, etc.)
▪Create referral partnerships with midwives, nurses, and health centers
👉 Many young mothers simply don’t know where to go or what to ask for, CHOCU becomes their bridge to healthcare.
Small, highly accountable fund to help in urgent cases:
▪Baby without clothes
▪Child with fever but no transport
▪Mother kicked out of home
▪Child denied food or basic need
▪Provide one-time support: $5–$15 per case
▪Document all assistance with signatures and follow-up
👉 This fund isn’t charity, it’s rescue. It steps in before small emergencies become tragedy.
