When facing an unplanned pregnancy, too many teens lose the support of their family and friends. This vacuum creates a breeding ground for all kinds of social problems, such as poverty, abuse, neglect, and substance abuse.
Angelcare's first line of defense is the essence of our project; the construction of a facility to shelter and mentor up to 12 teens through their pregnancy journey.
