It Takes a Village
Four local women came together in 2016 to support pregnant and parenting teens with Samara's Village, and created the grassroots charitable nonprofit organization. They chose to serve pregnant and parenting adolescents because Brunswick County’s teen pregnancy rates are higher than the surrounding counties and most of the counties in North Carolina.
Research has shown that adolescent parents and their children are at a higher risk for becoming unhealthy physically, socially and emotionally. Samara's Village founders noticed that available programs helped meet physical and educational needs only and so they wanted to create a service that worked in a holistic way.
They became a 501(c)(3) and chose the name Samara's Village because the name means 'under God's protection'. They operate under the notion that it takes a village to raise a child.
