More about Isa Mathiva Foundation

The foundation developed a program called Pack of hope as a response ho high rate of leaner pregnancy. The impact of teenagers falling pregnant in schools will in future leave an indelible gap when it comes to having skilled and educated youth going out into the workplace. It is clear that the Department of Education is having problems in closing the gap of teenage pregnancies and as such they need our support. While Life Orientation classes in schools are there to inform the learners of the dangers of teen pregnancy and STIS’s, the reality is that these lessons are all theory based. Teenage/Leaner pregnancy continues to have a detrimental effect which poses a challenge to our country, these are affects in terms of Health, Economic, Social and Education space. The psychological/ emotional consequences which may negatively impact mother and baby are: • Dealing with feelings of fear, denial, anger, resentment • Denial can threaten the health of the mother and baby if the mother does not adjust health habits or get proper medical care. • Self-esteem issues due to changing body, increased risk of severe depression • Increased risk of anxiety and sleep disorders/ insomnia. • Guilt and grief in the event of a termination • Lack of preparedness for parenting leading to a feeling of not coping and failure. These are the issues which we are addressing as an organization and we hope to partner with you so that we can do more
