The programme, the Education Ministry said on Monday, was coordinated by the Health and Family Life Education (HFLE) Unit of the Ministry and the Carnegie School of Home Economics in Georgetown, and Kevin’s Reflections in Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice).
The programme benefited young mothers from Regions Three, Four and 10.
Following a symposium on resilience last Wednesday, the young mothers were given start-up kits and care packages at the graduation ceremony.
The young women were congratulated on successfully completing the programme and were encouraged to position themselves to take advantage of future opportunities.
