Some quotes from young women who have participated in the S.A.M project

“The S.A.M. Project was absolutely brilliant. It gave me confidence to talk about my fears, my feelings and my opinions on issues that were important to me. The workers and the speakers were great and I found the programme really helpful.”

“I have made a career path for myself now with help from the S.A.M. Project. This project helped me thoroughly in working towards my exams.”

“I would recommend to run the project again because it saved me from going off my head, sitting at home with no work done for my exams. I felt really stressed and isolated without the project and I think it should be essential for all young women in my situation because it gave us a voice.”

“It made me change the way I look at my situation. I got to meet people who have been through pregnancy and I got to meet some young women like myself who are about to experience birth and what it means to be a parent.”

“Being able to get out of the house, meeting people in the same situation, giving each other advice and sharing stories and experiences.”

“I feel a more confident person and what I want to make of myself in life. I want to do things now that I never thought I would have the chance to do.”
