A Second Chance At School: Kenya’s Greenland Girls School Empowers Teenage Mothers
In Kiserian, Kenya, a unique school is rewriting the future for teenage mothers. The Greenland Girls School allows young women who became mothers early to continue their education while their children are cared for nearby. For hundreds of students, the school offers not only classrooms but also dignity, support, and a chance to rebuild their lives.
