On the 9th May 2021, the World celebrated the Mothers’ Day, with most people honoring the special mother figures and women in their lives.
Therefore, to join the World in the same spirit, singers, Kent & Flosso of the Voltage Music and Rhizo Pass, all signed to Voices & Beats Records, spent the day with the teenage mothers at their home known as the Remnant Generations, located in Busega, Kampala. The Remnant Generation was founded in 2011 as a Not-for-Profit Organization.
The home reaches, rescues and restores survivors of sexual abuse and pregnant teen girls. They believe in girls’ flourishing by providing safe spaces, spiritual nurturing, counselling, access to education, health, justice, and job training.
The home that has over 20 teenage mums under its care, caters for young mothers, who have faced different circumstances that have left them pregnant, alone, and abandoned.
During their visit, the Artistes were accompanied by other members of the team, including Ms. Carolyne Gloria Flower, the Label’s Executive Director, and spent the day with the teenage mums, entertaining, and interacting with them, as they listened to their humbling stories.
In her remarks, Ms. Carolyne Flower urged the teenage Mums not to resort to self-sympathy but rather approach their fears with bravery. She further reminded the expecting mums that babies they are carrying are a gift and blessing from God. So, they need to know that their future is bright, and they can still make it, regardless of their current circumstances.
The artistes who also shared words of inspiration to the young Mums, as well as their own personal life experiences to encourage them and also carried various items for the home, including baby items, sanitary products, and mama kits.
To crown it all, Voices & Beats Records, has committed to support this home both in finance and in-kind in order to restore hope for the teen mothers. Talent will also be identified from the teen mothers and given the opportunity to participate in the various art and music projects of the Label.
