In Buhunda village, some young girls carry the weight of entire households. One teenage mother shared her story:

“After school, I started selling boiled cassava on the street to earn money. I used it to feed my two younger sisters and my grandparents. But even with that, it wasn’t enough to meet our needs.”

This story reflects the quiet resilience of youth-led families, where education and childhood are often sacrificed for survival. TAHEA Mwanza supports young caregivers through entrepreneurship training, school retention programs, and family support services that ease the burden and restore hope.
