Mother Group
The Lit “Oyaka” Mother Group (LOM Group) is an initiative that brings together community older women (aka mothers) who are trained to mentor and support girls in education by working directly with the girls and their families to address issues preventing girls from staying in the school including early marriages, early and unintended pregnancies, poverty, etc. Members of the LOM Group provide mentorship and life skills to adolescent girls, and advocate for their education (including door to door visits). Our mother group is also working with their trainers to start a small-scale business that will help them and benefit their community and the girls.
