🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺Preventing Abortion Among School-Age Children
Every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy, hopeful, and whole.
Yet across many schools, young girls face increasing risks of early and unintended pregnancy—often leading to unsafe decisions that endanger their lives and futures.
At C.H.E.R.I., we believe prevention begins with knowledge, guidance, and care.
🌺1. Educate Early
Our school health program promotes comprehensive, age-appropriate health education—teaching both boys and girls about:
• The importance of respecting their bodies,
• Understanding reproductive health, and
• The consequences of unprotected sexual activity.
Knowledge empowers students to make informed, responsible choices.
🌺2. Strengthen Values and Support Systems
Many young people face pressure, fear, or misinformation.
C.H.E.R.I. works with parents, teachers, and counselors to create safe spaces where students can speak openly about what they experience—without shame.
Through mentorship, guidance counseling, and life-skills training, we help children understand that their bodies and futures are precious, and that help is always available.
🌺3. Promote Abstinence, Responsibility, and Access to Care
Prevention means giving students options rooted in values and care:
• Encouraging abstinence as the safest choice for school-age children.
• Teaching self-control, self-worth, and decision-making skills.
• Ensuring that adolescents who need help receive timely health care, counseling, and family guidance—before crises occur.
🌺4. Engage Communities and Faith Leaders
Parents, educators, and faith-based organizations all play a role in guiding our children.
Together, we can strengthen community dialogue around positive relationships, respect for life, and moral decision-making—so that no child ever feels alone or forced into unsafe actions.
🌺5. Build a Future of Hope
Every child carries promise.
Preventing abortion among school-age children isn’t just about preventing a tragedy—it’s about building a culture of respect for self and others, discipline, and compassion.
Through early education, health screenings, counseling, and ongoing parental involvement, C.H.E.R.I. continues to protect and nurture that promise.
