Sekajango Bahati is 17 and lives in Nakivale Settlement with her parents and twelve siblings. She became a mother at 15, after being let down by someone who had promised to stand by her a painful, lonely chapter for her and her son.

Her goal: to train as a hairdresser, so she can support herself and give her son the chance to go to school. She currently has no way to access that training on her own — the kind of gap Jenga Jamaa's livelihoods pillar exists to close.

Rose Nyamutema is 14 and lives with her grandmother in Nakivale, while her parents remain outside the country. She became pregnant at 13, during a very difficult period that included real hardship and rejection at home. Things began to change when her mother stepped in to support her, and when she found YAREN Organisation.

Her goal: to become a fashion designer. She is already learning tailoring through YAREN, fixing clothes for pay, and saving toward her child's future.

Esther Matenda is 17, a Congolese refugee living in Nakivale. She is the fourth of eight children, raised by her mother alone since they lost their father. She became a mother after being abandoned by someone who had promised to marry her.

Her goal: to become a fashion designer so she can support her mother and her child. She has already started fixing clothes for neighbours and earning a small income from it.
