AT THE THREE RESIDENTIAL HOMES IN KENYA, THE TEEN MOMS RECEIVE WEEKLY TRAUMA-INFORMED INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP COUNSELING. BEYOND MEETING PHYSICAL NEEDS, THE PROGRAMS PROVIDE FOR SPIRITUAL DISCIPLESHIP AND EDUCATIONAL TRAINING. TUTORS PROVIDE THE GIRLS WITH A BASIC EDUCATION WITH A GOAL TO REINTEGRATE THEM BACK TO SCHOOL OR TO TRANSITION THEM TO A VOCATIONAL JOB PROGRAM ONCE THEIR CHILDREN REACH THE AGE OF TWO. WHEN THE GIRLS REACH THIS TRANSITION POINT, MERCY HOUSE GLOBAL'S SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM PROVIDES FOR THEIR SCHOOL FEES, UNIFORMS, AND BOOKS, AS WELL AS FOR THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION.
