About TEMAK Clinic And Laboratory services.

Teenage Mothers and Girls Association of Kenya (TEMAK) was established in 1992 by a group of Christian, well wishers in this community, with the aim of minimizing vulnerability in adolescent girls, teenage mothers, victims of early marriage and teenage mothers widowed at a tender age.

TEMAK works with HIV/Aids orphans who are vulnerable and victim to early marriage, early pregnancy, gender bias, low economic status and ill health. Orphans are empowered through skill development and rehabilitation. There is a drop in center where they can come for counseling and guidance programs.

As concerned Christians in the community we became involved with the vulnerable girls and teenage mothers all round us through sharing and fellowship and home visits. We felt emptiness in the face of crushing hunger neglect, isolation and discrimination.

This prompted us to start a training center with day care for their babies. Our untiring dedication with specifically trained instructors, teachers, counselors and caregivers has contributed to the success of this project for over twelve years.

-- Education and information on reduction of teenage pregnancies and school dropout rates.

-- Rehabilitation and economic empowerment of teenage mothers, girls living with AIDS, child prostitutes, and housemates.

-- Provision of reproductive health care and medicine.
