The Covid 19 pandemic that forced schools to close for 9 months in Kenya, worsened the problem of Teen Pregnacies in Kakamega County.
​
Since containment measures in Kenya were put in place, including closing schools and restricting movement, accessing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information and services has become very challenging for girls and women.
This is on top of cultural expectations surrounding abstinence, which already impacted young people’s confidence in seeking sexual and reproductive health services.
​
​
​
Omukoko Foundation has been sponsoring youth in various Sports activities across various Sub- Counties in Kakamega County since 2018.
​
We welcome partnerships to help expand this programme to include football for young girls in all the Sub- Counties of Kakamega County
According to a survey we carried out:
​
-
98% of pregnant girls were not in school, and 59% of the pregnancies among girls aged 15-19 years were unintended.
-
45% of severe abortion complications were also reported among adolescent girls.
-
Sexual violence is believed to affect about one-fifth of girls aunder 18, but most do not discuss their experiences or receive assistance.
-
More than half (54%) of sexually active adolescent girls in Kenya did not intend to get pregnant and have an unmet need for modern contraception.
Samuel Omukoko and well wishers chose to focus on putting the affected girls back to school through fee payments , counselling and mentoring working through local Chiefs and village elders
