SPPAMC Goal
SPPAMC aims to contribute to improved
wellbeing and quality of life of
adolescent mothers and their children
specially in poor, marginalized and
difficult conditions

by creating an enabling and

supportive environment for them to
improve their capacities to achieve
their aspirations, ensure the
wellbeing of their children and
break intergenerational poverty
SPPAMC Objectives

To build the capacity of adolescent mothers to

protect themselves from the risks and
vulnerabilities of early pregnancy to enable
them to attain their aspirations and potentials

To prevent unwanted pregnancies,

sexual abuse and other risks and
vulnerabilities that deter them from
improving their conditions;

To prevent the income of adolescents and their

family from declining from their current
income/consumption levels due to various risk
factors;
SPPAMC Objectives

To enable them to continue their education,

develop their skills, improve their health and
wellbeing, be gainfully employed and actively
participate in community development;

To generate adequate support from

government and other sectors for
sustained standards of living in
spite of exposure to risk

To create mechanisms and institutions to promote

social inclusion and prevent/mitigate social
vulnerabilities and discrimination among
adolescent mothers
