I am a Muslim girl of 15 and I was ready to sit P7 next year, but I got pregnant by my boyfriend and now my father has disowned me. He has chased me from his home and I have bounced around to different friends and relatives, but have no stability long term. What are my options?
My teacher got me pregnant. I am in P4 and he thought I’d be too young to get pregnant, but I wanted the good marks he was promising me. My father is angry and is in quarrels with the school. The teacher wants the baby's DNA tested first before paying my father money, but my father doesn’t want me to continue the pregnancy because he wants me to continue school. I am only 12 and have no say in all of this and don’t even know what to think about it all anyways. What will happen to me?

Often a girl in this common predicament simply needs a safe place to live while the family issues get sorted. Path of Hope would offer such a girl emergency shelter, prenatal care and personal counseling, as well as family mediation. If family reunification proves to be impossible or unsafe, we would then place the girl in our 2 year prog

Path of Hope would offer such a girl emergency shelter, prenatal care and personal counseling, as well as family mediation. If family reunification proves to be impossible or unsafe, we would then place the girl in our 2 year program with skills training, discipleship and parenting classes in hopes that she would be able to be independent and raise her child after completing the program.

This is a case where legal action would have to take place in a tactful way that protects the young girl as much as possible.

This is a case where legal action would have to take place in a tactful way that protects the young girl as much as possible. Local child protective services would be brought in to investigate the case while the girl stays safely in our emergency home. Medical care, personal counseling, family mediation and justice would be the key elements for such a situation with a vulnerable child. If family mediation is not successful and both the young mother and the unborn baby are not safe enough for family reunification, the young mother would join our 2 year program (with room for extension) or be placed in a trusted foster home overseen by Path of Hope. The young mother would continue studies while receiving medical care and counseling from our center.
My father is an alcoholic and got me pregnant. I have never gone to school and he has been abusing me all my life. I haven’t told him I am pregnant yet. How can I bring a baby to suffer in the same situation? My mother left me as a baby and none of my relatives want anything to do with me.

Such a situation is heartbreaking and unfortunately not unheard of. It certainly leaves a girl feeling hopeless and out of options, but at Path of Hope we seek to help girls find hope no matter what dark situation they find themselves in! Since a girl in this situation would need intense counseling, medical care and discipleship, she would be protected and immediately enrolled in our 2 year program and justice would also be sought for the perpetrator. She may choose to go to school or she may choose to learn a skill, but we are willing to walk hand in hand with her as she discovers all the possibilities God has for her!
I am 16 and the head of the house, in charge of all my younger siblings. Our father left long ago and our mother left a year ago without telling us where she was going. Since then I have had to drop out of school because of funds and try to take care of my younger siblings. The neighbor boy told me he loved me and would take care of me. He helped us with food sometimes, but now I am pregnant. What should I do?
Path of Hope would be called upon to handle many different angles of a case such as this. Foster care for the siblings, family tracing for the mother, medical care, counseling and skills training for the new young mother and possibly counseling for the young father if he is willing to take on the responsibility and marry the girl after she has successfully finished the 2 year program.
My mother is an alcoholic and I don’t know my father. Me and my siblings have never gone to school and the only way to survive is to do small jobs. Sometimes men give me money to sleep with them. I am HIV positive now. I think I am pregnant and just want to go to the witch doctor to end the pregnancy or end my life.
This girl desperately needs the healing and counseling we can give her at Path of Hope. When being made aware of this situation Path of Hope would quickly react to get the girl admitted into our emergency home so she could receive medical care, one on one counseling, be registered for our 2 year program and also see to getting the siblings in safe foster families. Intense oversight and counseling would be priority before she could be in the right mindset to decide on schooling or a trade. Such a girl could expect upwards of 2 years at Path of Hope.
