Mission, Vision & Impact

Our Mission

At Young Mums Unite, we believe every young mother deserves a chance to thrive. Through community-led support groups, targeted health education, and strong referral networks, we unlock brighter futures for mothers and their children.

Our Vision

A future where every young mother in Tanzania feels supported, empowered, and capable of building a healthy life for herself and her child, free from stigma and isolation.

Our Impact

With over 120,000 young mothers reached and 300+ peer support groups formed, our model is creating tangible change across five major regions of Tanzania.

Our Approach

We are peer-led and community-focused. Our programs are facilitated by trained health educators and local mothers who understand the unique challenges young women face.

ABOUT US

Empowering Through Peer Support

Our Peer Support Groups are the heart of our work. They provide a safe, confidential, and stigma-free space where young mothers can share their stories, celebrate successes, and navigate challenges together.

Facilitated by trained peers and health educators, these groups build lasting friendships and a powerful sense of community, ensuring no young mother feels alone on her journey.

“The financial literacy workshop helped me start a small tailoring business. Now I can support my family with pride.”

Fatuma, 17 (Dodoma)
