ABOUT US
Our mission
Hope Backup International's mission is to empower underprivileged adolescent mothers with the tools and resources they need to work their way out of extreme poverty, care for their children, and strengthen their families and communities.
Our vision
We envision a society in which underprivileged adolescent mothers are empowered and lifted out of extreme poverty. They possess the skills to provide a better life for themselves, their families and are equal partners in their communities.
WHAT WE DO
Advocacy & community outreach program
All of our work, programming, advocacy and campaigning is rooted in the fundamental belief that every underprivileged adolescent mother has the right to survive, access to vocational skills and be supported.
One sewing machine per one adolescent mother
Through this program, underprivileged adolescent mothers can learn valuable sewing skills and Hope Backup International provides them with their own a sewing machine to start their own self-sustaining and respectable tailoring business.

One piglet per one adolescent mother
Ones of the reasons why some of the underprivileged adolescent mothers that Hope Backup International works with choose pig farming is that pigs multiply really fast. One sow (mature female pig) can farrow (give birth to) between 8 and 18 piglets at a time.
WHY DO WE DO THIS
WHY UNDERPRIVILEGED ADOLESECENT MOTHERS MATTER TO US ?
Adolescent mothers face overwhelming challenges, balancing school, work, and personal growth while dealing with financial instability and social stigma. According to UNFPA, 20,000 girls under 18 give birth daily in developing countries, often due to poverty or sexual abuse. With limited education, support, and resources, they risk long-term struggles that impact their well-being and their children's future.
Hope Backup International strongly believes that support is crucial for underprivileged adolescent mothers to overcome the obstacles they face. If encouraged, guided and provided with resources needed, those underprivileged adolescent mothers can navigate the complexities of motherhood while still pursuing their own dreams and aspirations. Support also plays a vital role in combating the social stigma that adolescent mothers often face.
Therefore, Hope Backup International works to address some of these challenges by providing support to the underprivileged adolescent mothers, starting from Rwanda. Through our various programs and initiatives, we aim to provide to those underprivileged adolescent mothers in Rwanda with the tools and support they need to work their way out of poverty and build a brighter future for themselves and their children. Hope Backup International also advocates supporting girls who become pregnant so they can return to school and reach their full potential.
TESTIMONIALS
"Hope Backup International has changed my life. As an adolescent mother from a poor family, I never thought I would acquire skills to start a small business as an opportunity to progressively build a future I want for myself and my child. With their support, I have received valuable sewing skills and a sewing machine to work my way out of extreme poverty and become self-sufficient. I'm forever grateful for their dedication to empowering adolescent mothers like me."
