TEMAK, Kenya
TEMAK, Kenya
The sign for the Teenage Mothers Association of Kenya (TEMAK) indicates that it is "the
last house towards the Obunga slums," the most destitute area of Kisumu. Many of the unwed
mothers and young girls who come to TEMAK to learn job skills live in these slums. TEMAK
is an organization that offers job training in tailoring, hairdressing, secretarial skills,
craft making, and recently computers to unwed mothers, girls, and others in the Obunga slum
community. As a community center, the organization also provides the community with an
educational forum for HIV/AIDS awareness and other health issues.
Many of the young women at TEMAK participate in making crafts, earning income to support
themselves and their families. In the past few years, TEMAK has also become a craft center
for the artisans and craftspeople in the town of Kisumu by providing local and international
sales outlets that make available a sustainable income for many in the community.
