We believe

student motherhood is
not an impediment
to education.

Company Profile

The Problem

Najinusuru Foundation addresses school drop-outs amongst student-mothers.

Mapped Activities

Through; academic support, alternative care for children, research and advocacy and psycho-social support.

Desired End Goal

Bridging the transition gap incident to student mothers at various levels of education.

The theory of Change

Student motherhood is associated with poverty, early marriages, and early sexual debut. As a result, poor academic performance by affected students, increased school dropout rates, and poor perception of school and education by student mothers following their pregnancy have become features of student motherhood.

Najinusuru, therefore, seeks to answer the question: How shall we enable student mothers to continue their learning journey and transit to higher levels of education?
