Description
This project is a coherent response adapted to the needs of the problem of adolescent mothers and young mothers at risk of high social exclusion. The analysis we performed indicates a chronic unmet need for services, ignorance on the part of society of girls in situations of vulnerability. The project proposes an integrated intervention at the level of 3 rural communities: Ceplenița, Mironeasa and Șcheia, from Iași County. Thus, through the development of 3 clubs in the community, a framework is created to support the activities of developing decision-making skills, problem solving and advocacy. In order to respond to the need for services, an innovative model of early intervention will be implemented, which aims to develop skills in order to reduce stigma and increase access to quality services. The intervention proposed by the project is addressed to a number of 130 adolescent mothers, young mothers and expectant mothers in rural areas, of which 20 are Roma; all of them are facing extreme poverty and social exclusion. We will conduct information workshops on women''s, family and children''s rights, consult with beneficiaries, develop and provide a model of integrated early intervention services that can be replicated in other initiatives, create local support networks and workshops. The activities will be carried out by Save the Children Iasi and Corona Foundation experts. The two organizations have experience in working with similar target groups and bring to the project good practices and lessons learned from previous projects.
