Girl Child In West Nile
Empower The Women
Who a West Nile Woman is
Have you seen how sweet mothers of West Nile suffer? If you didnt know, they are the four wheel drive of our community. She wakes up as early as 3 Am to make sure there is enough water for the family, prepare some food for the kids to eat before going to school, Then rush for the daily duty in the farm.
After farm work she has to get back early enough to to prepare lunch for the kids and other family members, then do other remaining duty. At this point she does all this single handedly.
Do pregnant women go through these as well ?
Yes, they do and for their case even worse for both teenage and adult pregnant mothers. The cry comes in when those who are reject have no one to help.
Teenage and adult pregnant mothers suffer.
Those who have no husband are left to the mercies of their parents otherwise
they have to go start life some where else which is stressful and leads to unhealthy
growth of the baby.
For those whose men accept them go through support challenge. Most West Nile men
don’t care that much for their wives especially when they are pregnant.
Therefore they are always struggling. This is because most of the village men don’t have proper
source of income.
Challenges Pregnant mothers go through
They suffer from love. Most men hardly show their wives love during pregnancy. Some men go looking for other women outside.
Nutrition problem. they are always eating one type of food. This is because they cant afford good food.
Some live in hard to reach areas meaning health facilities are hard to access. Therefore some end up missing antenatal programs.
For the teenagers once they get out of school no one think of taking them back to school, they become rejects.
Why Most Girls Drop Out Of School
