Teen mothers trained in CPAJ Center

The Presbyterian Church in Rwanda engages in various activities, including initiatives aimed at supporting and empowering young people by providing vocational training. One of its institutions, CPAJ, operates under the education department and is located in Kicukiro District, Kagarama Sector. This center offers vocational training to young people in different fields, such as tailoring and hairdressing.

What makes this center unique is its special focus on teen mothers  in  Kicukiro District. These teen mothers attend vocational training while bringing their children with them, ensuring they receive proper care. The center has hired caregivers to look after the children while the mothers are in class, allowing them to focus on their studies. However, the mothers also get breaks to check on their children. Each training cycle lasts six months before a new group starts.
