Harmony Garden - growing healthy girls

Harmony Garden - growing healthy girls The HARMONY GARDEN is an independent community research and education center that works to promote the health of girls.

We engage in Community Based Participatory Action Research to explore and better understand the issues identified as most concerning to community residents. Through exploration and education programs, we aim to partner with girls, their caregivers, community stakeholders, and organizations to help all girls achieve their full potential.

Young Pregnancy

"This photo of dead baby rabbits represents that you should never have children when you are young, because there could be something wrong with them and it will ruin your life. If you can tell, there is hair everywhere that the mother pulled out to make a nest. She will be scarred for life."

"Even if your body can get pregnant young, it can lead to many problems."

"Parents put off the task of talking about sex...and are not comfortable talking with their child."

"We need to discuss sexual and reproductive health issues earlier in school. We are waiting too late--kids are already sexually active."
