The cycle of poverty continues to keep young women stuck, generation after generation…

After a long history of ineffective assistance programs and poor support, the cycle of poverty continues to limit many young moms who are fighting just to meet their basic needs. For many, the tools needed to become self-sufficient remain out of reach.
