Managing the scourge of teenage pregnancy
In the Busoga and West Nile regions of Uganda, the cycle of teenage pregnancy casts a long shadow over the futures of two children: the pregnant teenager and her unborn child.
The physical, emotional, and social consequences of early motherhood can derail a young girl’s education, limit her economic opportunities, and impact her overall well-being. Simultaneously, the unborn child faces increased risks of premature birth, low birth weight, and other health complications.
Ecov Uganda‘s “Community Response to Stop Teenage Pregnancy” project is a beacon of hope, working tirelessly to break this cycle and empower young people to make informed choices about their sexual and reproductive health.
Advocacy for sustainable livelihoods.
We continue to advocate for policies that protect children’s rights and promote their well-being, expanding our livelihood programs to reach more families with children in need.
Prevention
The project aims to prevent teenage pregnancies by strengthening communities and government structures, promoting the rights of girls, and providing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education.
Reintegration
The project works to reintegrate teenage mothers into society and education services by providing maternal and child care, improving access to healthcare and justice systems, and offering alternative education and skills opportunities.
Capacity Building
The project enhances the capacity of local Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) to address teenage pregnancy and other social injustices by improving their corporate governance and providing technical and digital skills.

Changing the lives of Children in Uganda.
Poverty and limited economic opportunities are major challenges facing many families in Uganda. These challenges can lead to child labor, early marriage, and other forms of exploitation.
We work with communities to identify their needs and develop sustainable solutions. We provide training in various skills, such as agriculture, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy.
Ecov Uganda is committed to addressing these root causes through our advocacy and livelihood interventions and Our goal is to empower families to create a better future for themselves and their children.
Our organization truly believes that by working together, we can empower our children who are our future.
