Margaret Wangeci, better known as Peggy, knows too well the struggles of teenage motherhood. She became a mother while still at university, juggling lectures, skipped units, and sleepless nights to raise her first child. Today, the mother of two has turned her lived experience into a lifeline for Kenya’s forgotten teen mothers, especially those trapped in the slums.
In Nakuru’s informal settlements, Peggy runs mentorship and guidance programs, walking with young mothers through the same challenges she once faced—loneliness, stigma, and mental health struggles. But for her, the biggest battle is not the shortage of professional therapists. It is the lack of safe spaces in a society where cases of gender-based violence continue to rise. “Many of these girls don’t just need counselling. They need protection, dignity, and a safe space where they are not judged or violated,” she says.
Still, Peggy believes there is hope. Community Health Promoters have stepped in to provide basic counselling and link survivors to proper referral pathways. Local administrators and police officers, once seen as indifferent, are increasingly being trained on how to handle survivors with care and sensitivity. Her dream is simple but powerful: that no teenage mother should feel abandoned or silenced because of circumstances beyond her control.
