Centre in Nairobi where teen single mothers find future of hope

• Empowerment:Most young women here are teenagers, and all are raising children
• The vocational courses offered help them to become self-reliant.
• With a group of 50 single mothers, Angeline Nandwa registered Single Mothers Self-Help Group.

In a classroom with wooden walls and a low ceiling, sewing machines whirr as an instructor walks around to guide and to correct mistakes.

Behind each machine is a young woman. Most of the women here are teenagers and they are - all 10 of them - single mothers.
