After hearing that the city of San Antonio has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the nation, a group of ladies got together and decided to form an organization in order to do something about making a change. We felt that if we could impact the lives of girls with wholesome values and examples, then maybe we could help decrease the city’s current status of having one of the highest teen pregnancy rates to possibly the city with the lowest teen pregnancy rates. Banding together with our community, we know that this task can be accomplished. And from that meeting D.I.V.A’s was formed. D.I.V.A’s is a sisterhood of women from various backgrounds and cultures who have joined together to take young girls in the San Antonio community away from the streets, videos, movies, books and any other form of negativity that may influence them to make wrong choices. We have dedicated ourselves to be positive mentors to teach young ladies how to become young women of great character and integrity. Our goal is to change their mindset in order to expand their horizons. |
