Food for thought...
The 2010 Mecklenburg County Community Assessment reports
that in 2008 alone there were 6,122 infants born to women with less than 12
years of education. Little to no education often times means these women are
unemployed and/or living in poverty conditions, working jobs that do not offer
healthcare benefits or enough salary to provide proper nourishment, pre-natal
care and a stable, safe environment for mother and child which may result in an
epidemic of dependency on governmental support, risk of child abuse and other
stigmas often seen in these situations. The 2010 Mecklenburg County Community
Assessment also showed that between 2004 and 2008, 12.3% of all births
"had an inter-pregnancy interval of six or fewer months, suggesting that
these births were unplanned, highlighting the need for family planning and
health education"
With research showing that single-family households,
particularly mother-headed households are at higher risk of poverty shouldn't
there be an environment established which will encourage, educate, equip and
empower these pregnant familes to a higher level of achievement and self
sustainability!
