The event will take place on 7th December 2022 from 10:00 AM EAT (for participants in Nairobi)/8:00 AM CET (for participants in Austria) until 11:30 EAT/13:30 AM CET and will be organised as a hybrid event. Participants in Nairobi are invited to join the event at Best Western Plus Meridian Hotel, 6 Murang'a Road, off Moi Avenue, Nairobi.

 

During the event, results from the study: “Young mothers in the slums of Nairobi” will be presented and a “Social Workers Referral Pathway Manual for young Mothers“ will be launched. The manual aims at providing guidance to social workers and other professionals working with teenage mothers in poor urban settlements. Panel discussions during the event will further explore opportunities of education as pathway for teenage mothers and possible policy recommendations to address teenage motherhood. More detailed information can be found in the agenda.

 

The event is organised in the framework of the project “Improving life skills of young mothers in the slums of Nairobi”, funded by Fair Styria and implemented by the Slum Child Foundation in partnership with World University Service Austria (WUS Austria). Main activities include an analysis of the situation in Korogocho; trainings of social workers in Nairobi and teaching life skills to young mothers from the slums.
