Breaking Social Disadvantages for Teenage Moms
Proyecto Nacer is an organization created to serve the families of young, teenage mothers and fathers, promoting success for the baby and family as a whole. They operate as a Family Incubator Model, structuring their services around the mother, baby, father and grandparents. Through this method, they are changing the lives of three generations and impacting entire communities to create a sustainable change.
