Kenya: In November 2014, Rita's education was cut short and her dream of becoming a teacher dashed due to pregnancy. Rita, 14, a hardworking Standard Seven pupil was forced to drop out of school. Her mother Rebecca, says peers ridiculed her out of school after it was discovered she was pregnant.

When Rebecca saw a change in her daughter's body, she became concerned. "I decided to take her for a pregnancy test and that's when my fears were confirmed," the mother of six pauses. "My daughter was two months pregnant."
