EMPOWERING ADOLESCENTS, YOUTH AND TEEN MOTHERS
IN TAKING INFORMED DECISIONS, FOSTERING THEIR BRIGHT FUTURE
WHY OUR WORK MATTERS
Adolescent pregnancy remains a significant public health and socio-economic concern in Rwanda. In 2023 alone, over 19,000 teenage girls gave birth. Teen mothers face stigma, school dropout, and limited job prospects. Mental health challenges among youth aged 14–24 are rising sharply: 21% experience depression, 17% suffer from anxiety. These challenges, worsened by limited access to guidance and services, lead to risky behaviors and uninformed life decisions.
The Notable Gap
- Fragmented, underfunded interventions
- Lack of youth-led, community-driven models
- Limited access to mentorship & SRH education
- Challenges scaling & sustaining impact

Hear From Those We’ve Walked With
Stories of hope, resilience, and transformation from our community.
I was 17, alone, and terrified when I got pregnant. Destiny Helpers welcomed me with love, gave me a counselor, and enrolled me in vocational training. Now I’m studying tailoring, and my baby has a future I never thought possible.
