Favour, age 18, Nigeria – Health, Economic Empowerment

Abuja, Nigeria:Favour, 18, is a young mother who became pregnant through sex work and went into labor at 33 weeks. Her baby needed extensive hospital care due to being premature. We were able to provide these funds and Favour and her baby recovered. The director of the sex worker organization we partnered with on this case generously agreed to house Favour and her baby once they were discharged from the hospital. Due to donations we received, we were able to get Favour and her baby a comfortable, furnished place to live and provide funds for her to start a small business. Thanks to these efforts, Favour and her baby feel supported in building a brighter future.
