At Mount Kenya East Institute of Agriculture and Development Studies in Meru, a group of teenage mothers studies and take care of their children.

At intervals, they are in class with other students and at specific times they breastfeed, cuddle and lull their babies to sleep and later, head back to class. Young mothers, in their teens and 20s have a tough task; juggling motherhood and studies.
