In some communities, poverty doesn’t just limit opportunity—it exposes girls to harm. One young mother shared her experience:

“I entered a relationship because of poverty at home and pressure from friends. I needed basic things—like soap and books. That’s how I ended up pregnant and dropped out of school. The man responsible was a relative.”

This story reveals the painful intersection of economic hardship, peer pressure, and abuse. Many girls face similar risks when their basic needs go unmet and protective systems fail. TAHEA Mwanza works to break this cycle through parenting education, youth mentorship, and safe reporting channels that protect girls and restore dignity.
