Philippines: Shalom Teen Moms

Jill is a 15-year-old girl… and a mother. After being taken advantage of while walking home to her poor village one evening, a new life began to form in Jill’s womb. In a society that
often shames these young girls, Shalom Christian Birthing Center offers free prenatal exams, health education, and the Gospel. While the government restricts teenagers from giving birth at Shalom, our workers are allowed to provide support in the hospital during labor and to pay the fees of the hospital birth.
