Lencer’s story: growing up in Kibera as a girl

Nairobi, Kenya – Lencer lives in Nairobi’s Kibera neighborhood, one of the largest informal settlements in Africa. Lencer became pregnant at 17 and had to drop out of school, facing stigma from her community. With the help of Tiko, she’s now accessing youth-friendly health services as part of a community-based ecosystem of partners that are supporting her to regain confidence and work towards her dream of opening a beauty spa.
