Cwenga Koyana, a University of Cape Town (UCT) master’s student, is making remarkable strides in advocating for the empowerment of teen mothers across Africa. Her inspiring journey was highlighted at the recent UNESCO and Women@Dior Global Conference in Paris. As the founder of the non-profit company Talitha Together, Koyana is dedicated to transforming the lives of young mothers through education and support, drawing from her own deep-seated values of community service and educational empowerment.
Talitha Together, born out of a response to the alarming rates of teenage pregnancies exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, aims to break the cycle of teen pregnancy and provide young mothers with the tools to continue their education and achieve their dreams. With a vision that extends beyond prevention, the initiative seeks to increase its footprint across Africa, partnering with like-minded organizations to reach and support as many teen mothers as possible.
Cwenga's story is not just one of personal achievement but a call to action for all of us to contribute to a brighter future for young mothers in Africa. Through collaboration, donation, and volunteerism, we can all play a part in changing the narrative and ensuring that young women are given the opportunity to thrive despite the challenges of adolescent pregnancy.
For those moved by Cwenga's dedication and the mission of Talitha Together, there are many ways to get involved. Whether you're interested in donating, partnering, or volunteering, your support can make a significant impact on the lives of young mothers and their children across the continent.
