The New York Foundling is one of New York City’s largest providers of prevention programs

Nicole has a special connection to The Foundling as a former resident of our Young Mothers’ Support Program. Now happily married with a successful career as a property administrator, Nicole joined The Foundling’s Junior Board in 2012 to give back to the organization that supported her and her son 20 years ago.

Oumou left Guinea as a young teenager, escaping the risk of an arranged marriage. Soon after arriving in the United States she became pregnant, and the relative she was living with told her she was no longer welcome in his house. Fortunately, she was referred to The Foundling’s residential program for pregnant and parenting teens in foster care, where she was welcomed with open arms. Today, with help from our staff, Oumou is creating a better future for her family.
