Why Make a Donation to the Delaware Adolescent Program, Inc.?
The United States has made significant progress in reducing teen pregnancy rates. Teen pregnancy has declined 27% between 1990 and 1999. Despite these impressive gains:
- The U.S. still has the highest rate of teen pregnancy in the fully industrialized
world.
- 35% of teen girls get pregnant at least once by age 20.
- There are more than 850,000 teen pregnancies each year.
Each year
a new group of adolescents reach their teen years—this means that
prevention efforts must be constantly renewed and reinvented. Your donations
help the current and future generations. Because teen pregnancy is so
closely linked to a host of other critical social issues, your donation can
help:
- Reduce welfare dependency
-
Improve overall child well-being
-
Reduce out-of-wedlock births
-
Help increase responsible fatherhood
- Help create a more ready and able workforce
Help Make a Difference
Our success depends on the generosity
of private foundations and individuals like you. Your donation of $100,
$250, $500 or more will help support such activities as:
- Informing policy leaders
- Assisting parents
- Helping Delaware and its communities
