Meninas-Mães: Experiência de Vida, Arte e Educação

Teenage pregnancy is one of the most serious problems in Brazil today, particularly among girls from poor communities. The project Meninas-Mães supported young mothers by offering cultural activities as a way to re-establish relationships between mother and child, and to nurture a healthier environment for each of them. BrazilFoundation supported a project that offered artistic activities, visits to museums, theaters, and exhibitions to these young mothers.
