Provide comprehensive support to families with teenage pregnancy to generate changes that allow them to create a happy home, break cycles and project themselves in their multiple dimensions.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT: (15 lines maximum)
After analyzing the causes that lead young adolescents in the country to become pregnant, and based on a service project that has been running for 2 years by the Fonseca Rotary Club, this program has been designed, with a comprehensive training model for young adolescents (mother and father, when present, close family) pregnant in poverty conditions between strata 1 and 2.
Families are approached by developing strong and responsible emotional ties during pregnancy, which allow for the generation of different synergies in the family and significant adults for the baby and the pregnant parents, so that cycles of marginalization and violence can be broken.
The program includes learning opportunities where families must experience a process of knowledge, acceptance, forgiveness and transformation, to begin to create and build a life project different from that lived by their past generations.
Fundamentally, the construction and strengthening of emotional ties between parents and babies is worked on, so that they are received with love.
We believe that the most significant need that our project wants to address is the strengthening of emotional ties in Colombian families, in order to have responsible families committed to the comprehensive growth of children.
Also, in the trainings we will address topics of health, planning and nutrition, preventive measures, both for parents and the baby, because given the economic situation of extreme poverty of these families, we believe that the resources to which they can access should be optimized.
PLEASE DESCRIBE WHAT NEEDS YOU IDENTIFIED? HOW WILL THE PROJECT MEET THESE NEEDS? WHO WILL BENEFICIARY OF THIS PROJECT? MENTION AN ESTIMATED NUMBER OF BENEFICIARIES. (15 lines maximum)
NEEDS: In Medellín, Fonseca Guajira and Bucaramanga we found that in these municipalities; the problem lies in the repetition of cycles of violence, mistreatment, marginalization and abuse in the population at risk, low sexual education in low socioeconomic strata, which due to circumstances result in teenage pregnancy.
ADDRESSING NEEDS: Needs are addressed through sensitive and dynamic workshops, which lead to reflection, forgiveness and the construction of a model based on their own reality. The workshops focus on three lines of intervention, defined by the specific objectives that are sought to be met. In total there are 8 workshops that cover these topics through different activities, for a total of 40 group hours. WORKSHOPS:
BENEFICIARIES OF THIS PROJECT:
The project is intended to be developed with pregnant adolescent families (12 to 21 years old), at risk (strata 1, 2 and 3 initially). from the communities of Medellín, Fonseca and Bucaramanga.
NUMBER OF BENEFICIARIES: 300 pregnant mothers and 300 babies.
SUSTAINABILITY: (explain how the project will continue to operate once the financial support you receive for this project ends)
The community will be involved in the project, in the first instance, by seeking out young pregnant families and bringing them closer to the project.
The incentive that will be offered to the community is the subsequent involvement of mothers as leaders of the program, to the extent that with their own experience they can help others, after receiving training in the required subjects.
The different health departments and local health entities collaborating with the project and their professional staff will be in charge, together with the Rotary clubs, of delivering the guidelines given for the workshops and intervention lines of the program. In turn, these entities linked to the program will be in charge of replicating the program in the communities as a training input.
IS THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED? DESCRIBE THE ROLE OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY IN PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND CONTINUITY.
The selected training staff will be responsible for carrying out assistance, monitoring non-attendance and monitoring the reasons for it.
We will work with the community and the different health departments and collaborating local health entities where the families to be cared for are chosen, to ensure that they help to publicize the program and its continuity.
