Empowering Adolescents to Live Intentionally & Bloom

We believe young people deserve the knowledge, support, and community to make informed decisions about their health and futures.

Arame Community Program

Breaking Cycles, Building Futures

Founded in 2019

Arame exists to close the information gap in sexual and reproductive health, empowering adolescents and young people to make informed health decisions and fight against adolescent pregnancies.

Our mission began from hearing stories of teen mothers who got pregnant because they were lied toβ€”told that "they can't get pregnant during the day." That sparked an anger and determination not to let any more girls fall for lies that get them pregnant.

At the heart of every program we do, our goal is to educate every adolescent and young person about their reproductive health.
