To minister to the needs of disadvantaged teenagers and young mothers in the Central Region and support them in their personal development and interventions that will reduce barriers and promote positive adolescent growth.

This program seeks to provide support for teenagers and young mothers in the following areas:

  • Guidance and counseling
  • Rehabilitation of teenagers and young mothers “in conflict” or “in contact” with the law.
  • Education
  • Vocational Training
  • Teenage/young mothers and their babies with medical conditions
  • Family conflict resolution and reintegration
  • Family livelihood support and employment opportunities

Conventions and sensitization campaigns

The program, which began in January 2023 has registered 217 TEYOMOs. Out of the 217, about 78 have received various forms of support from CCC. We also have the Wednesday TEYOMO Counseling Clinic, which has been an effective turnaround point for many young ladies and the young men responsible for their pregnancies, among others. Many have gone back to school and apprenticeships, integrated back to rejected families, and secured good jobs after TEYOMO conventions and training programs, to mention but a few.
