Over 600 teenaged girls become pregnant in the Bahamas annually says Jacqueline Knowles (right) , Coordinator of P.A.C.E. seen in photo with Sharda Stuart (member).
P.A.C.E. is a foundation that assists pregnant teenagers in continuing their education and developing the skills and responsibilities of becoming a parent. The objective of P.A.C.E. is to create hope and inspire change among our youth. It's the hope of the organization that the program will change the mindset of the youth in the Bahamas. Locally, the organization takes in over 150 pregnant teenagers each year and provides them with support, education and guidance during their time of need. The foundation is partially supported by the Ministries of Health and Labor, and functions mainly on the generosity of the community, and the commitment and dedication of its staff and volunteers.
