About Us

Our Story

Crystal Hands Foundation (CHF) was inspired by the personal experience of our teenage sister and daughter to the hardships teenage girls and their families face. Teenage pregnancy is one of the harshest realities many  teenagers are forced to deal with due to immaturity and an underdeveloped sense of responsibility. Teenagers are often under-prepared to deal with changes they are experiencing and the consequences of their action. 

CHF is a family of women using our experience and expertise to design and implement programs to enable our girls understand themselves and take full advantage of opportunities presented to them.
