About Mama Mzazi Mommy & Me
Mama Mzazi Mommy & Me is an organisation dedicated to the healthy growth and development of children through the support of their parents and caregivers. After the founder’s pregnancy and birth experience, she looked to set up a platform where every mother could get tailor-made information and guidance on the different hurdles that parenting comes with.
This the organisation was able to achieve through:
- Tailor Made Content and Information.
- Training Sessions for parents e.g. pediatric first aid, raising confident children, etc
- Mama Mzazi Talks – Free Virtual expert discussion sessions for parents.
In addition, the Covid-19 pandemic gave visibility to another epidemic in the country and that was the alarming number of teenage girls who were dropping out of school due to pregnancy and negative peer influence. According to the then Health PS Susan Mochache “Kenya had the 3rd highest teen pregnancies worldwide where one in every five adolescents aged 15 -19 are already mothers or pregnant with their first child,” (Ref. Citizen.digital). This is further worsened by the unemployment rate of women (40.3%) in Kenya being twice that of men (18.5%) according to a survey conducted by KNBS (Ref. Business Daily)
According to Youth.Gov mentorship has the ability to (i) lower school dropout rates, (ii) decrease likelihood of engaging in drug and substance abuse, and (iii) promote healthier relationships and lifestyle choices. It is for this reason that we developed our fourth program, the Budding Leaders Program – A mentorship and training program for adolescents in Africa.
