In Kenya’s Kajiado County, Greenland Girls School is rewriting the rules of education by welcoming teenage mothers—along with their babies—into classrooms and dormitories. This unique boarding school allows young women to continue their studies without having to choose between motherhood and education.
For many, it’s a vital second chance after being rejected by families or communities. Studies show that two-thirds of teenage mothers in Kenya drop out of school due to pregnancy, making re-entry programs like this essential. With over 125,000 babies born to girls under 19 in 2024, the need for such institutions is urgent.
By combining education with childcare, Greenland Girls School demonstrates how tailored support can empower adolescent mothers to build brighter futures for themselves and their children.
