reality that deeply moved us: many young girls become mothers without having chosen it or without being prepared to take on this responsibility alone. Some are abandoned by their partner after a pregnancy, others are victims of violence or exploitation. Without resources or opportunities, they often find themselves raising their children alone in difficult conditions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet we saw in them not only vulnerability, but a potential that only needed a chance: to learn, work, start businesses, and offer a better future to their children.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is from this conviction that EGO Initiative was born, officially established in 2023 under Ministerial Order No. 530\/751 of 29\/06\/2023.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since then, we have
