The Brave Foundation is a support network for teenage mothers, set up by Bernadette Black. It’s the perfect combination of practical support, networking and resources, all aimed at ensuring girls are able to finish their education, look after their children and create a happy, independent life for their families. Brave is very clear that their support has to extend beyond just young mothers, that young fathers, extended families, medical services and particularly schools, also need resources. They look after the whole village.
