Raising a child while transitioning into adulthood is a challenging task and Iniciativa Guatemala (IG) hopes to foster that process for teen parents. IG works with young couples and single parents in positive-parenting classes with the goal of fostering parent-child bond, healthy communication and childrearing, promoting gender equality at home, informing young women about their rights, providing health information and period services for pediatric care, nutrition, and dental hygiene through local specialists. In 2022, IG partnered with Creamos – another Guatemalan nonprofit that focuses on psychology, therapy, adult education, and job inclusion – to provide young mothers with a safe space to express fear, doubts, and issues they are facing and given support to care for their emotional wellbeing as they raise their child.
