NIGERIA. Lagos, Shomolu. Palm Groove. 04 December 2022. Kehinde Odususi (19) reading a bible while her daughter is asleep.

Kehinde got pregnant in 2020 after being sexually abused while she was away from home. She is a beneficiary of the Young Mom's Clinic (YMC) program which provides free ante-natal care services, free baby care items, psychological support and family planning counselling for teenage mothers. Her family, members of the C&S (Cherubim and Seraphim) Church, supported her throught the pregnancy and after.
