The two parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to commit to achieving various goals and objectives relating to the Young Mothers Support Network initiative formed by Inspired Horizons. Young Mothers Support Programme was launched in 2019 with 30 adolescent girls and young women, supported by Her Voice Fund.

According to the agreement, Kalafhi will assist Young Mothers with baby weighing services, free vaccination and immunization, free consultation and P300 allowance for medication per annum. It also states that the one-year deal might be extended upon a written mutual agreement of both parties. The partnership is only open to the current 30 young mothers who are benefiting from the programme and shall not be extended to any new members that would join the NGO during the agreed time frame.
