CRVPF

Adolescent Girls Power Program (AGPP)

The Adolescent Girls Power Program (AGPP) focuses on building power of adolescent girls, including young mothers, to enable them transform and change the structures that deny them choices and power. CRVPF community partners work with the girls to create safe spaces; platforms in the community where the girls come together to engage in dialogue with one another, and receive life skills, financial literacy, vocational training to generate their own income to reduce the likelihood of violence and sexual violence. During the COVID-19 pandemic the lives of adolescent girls were heavily impacted, with many young girls in the Sub-Saharan region becoming young mothers. As a result, CRVPF developed a special project in Kenya and Tanzania to address this increase. The Young Mothers Project (YMP) equips young mothers with a comprehensive set of life skills and vocational training designed to build their power, while also providing Early Childhood Development (ECD) services for their children aged 0-3 years.

Collectively the girls develop strategies and advocate for their rights for a life free from violence and sexual violence.
