Profile
Teenage Mothers and Girls Association of Kenya (TEMAK) is an organization working to rescue, rehabilitate and provide vocational training to girls and young women.

TEMAK has its centre in Tom Mboya Estate, Kisumu in the Republic of Kenya, where multiple programmes have been initiated to support the destitute since 1992. The programme focuses on helping solve the problems of HIV/AIDS infected children and their parents.

TEMAK has carefully designed a center where training, rehabilitation, and economic empowerment for adolescent girls is conducted in order to improve the opportunities of teenage mothers.  Income generating activities are initiated for the girls in order to uplift their living standard
As part of TEMAK's Economic Empowerment Plan, they promote and train girls and young women in Arts and Crafts skills and techniques using locally available materials like hyacinth, papyrus, sisal and many other available materials.

TEMAK provides a conducive atmosphere for girls and children to acquire craft skills e.g. doll making, tie and dye, batik and creating tin and wire products, which are later sold. The income is used in support of the girls' projects or given out to individual girls or groups to start small scale business. TEMAK uses the same income to pay rent for those girls who are very desperate.

With every purchase of handcrafted products at TEMAK, it goes into supporting the girls and children since every penny goes 100% in support of their educational, vocational and social support.

The purchase of Art and Craft items will give AIDS widows a better, healthier, and happier life
