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?

Kenya’s return to school policy calls for student mothers to be re-admitted back into school and to be afforded necessary assistance within the school community to avoid psychological and emotional suffering.
