Unwanted pregnancies during adolescence often end girls' education in Burundi. This comes with the risk of being rejected by society and family because these girls are unmarried. The General Directorate of Basic, General and Pedagogical Education reports 2018 cases of pregnancy in primary and secondary schools for the 19/1.268 school year. In addition to a lack of sexual education, sexual assaults also contribute to this phenomenon. This is where our project comes into play with the goals of improving the mental health of those affected, reducing stigmatization and exclusion, promoting their family and social integration, thereby enabling their school or professional reintegration and promoting social cohesion.
