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 United States 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. Making a donation today will help this and future generations. And 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
