Our vision for SBF Daughters is to offer them a peaceful, clean and secure environment
Home & Caring For You and Your Baby
We walk with our pregnant teens/young mothers in the beginning stages of their pregnancy/parenthood and beyond. Guidance is provided: from day-to-day feeding to health-care to hygiene to the more general issues on how best to spend time with and without your baby; direction is given on older child care as well. A hot-line being established for all mothers; especially those on their own already.
Counseling
We will make available necessary resources, to our young mothers, in their time of uncertainty. Our Daughters will be able to speak with professionally trained persons for whatever they need.
Character Building
We will involve our SBF Daughters in various self-esteem and team building exercises. We have also implemented many Green efforts, which we hope will help our SBF Daughters learn how to live a self-sustaining and natural way of life.
Education
Pregnant Teens are at high risk of not finishing high school, according to research published by TeenPregnancy.org. Teen moms say the pressures of pregnancy or parenthood play a significant role in their decision to “put it off until later” or drop out of school. Lack of education makes it harder for teen moms to find work.
Some Of Our Solutions
SBF helps pregnant teens increase their chances of earning an HSE (High School Equivalency) diploma. Your HSE diploma can be earned after completing a test based on four subject areas including Math, Language, Science, and Social Studies. The skills you are taught and eventually tested on are at the same level as those of graduating high school seniors.
Financial Awareness
SBF Daughters have the opportunity to set up savings portfolios and are taught financial responsibility, money management, bill paying techniques and general financial awareness.
