Abstract

The department of Teenage Mother Consultant at Stichting voor Volkshygiëne Wit Gele

Kruis is seeking a grant to fund a sustainable, creative and developmental project for the

upcoming 2020-2021 school year. The main goals are to annually decrease the percentage of

teenage pregnancies in the Aruban community that are directly caused by teenagers (ages 15-19)

dating older men. Furthermore, to also educate and give parents and teachers the right tools

tackle this phenomenon. In 2018 there were 72 teenage pregnancies on the island. Globally

Aruba is ranked at number 71 with 23 per 1000 women between the ages of 15 to 19. The main

focus is on the phenomenon of dating older men and the consequences this may have on the

individual. Our objectives targeted at teenagers are to develop a six week workshops on topics

related to teenage pregnancy such as, self love and sexual relationships an innovative, creative

and sustainable way. To design a one hour course given twice a month for four months on sexual

health and healthy intimate relationships. In addition, to develop an awareness campaign.

Objectives targeted at parents and teachers is to design an online platform, develop a five week

workshop with tips and tricks on how to communicate and educate the child on the topic and to

initiate a monthly parent support group. We want to see a decrease in teenage pregnancy but also

positive changed behaviors and awareness in the community regarding this topic. The outcome

will be measured through monitoring and evaluation using survey after each workshop/course

and at the end of the program. Funding in the amount of 10715,- florins will help us achieve the

above mentioned goals and objectives and bring social change.

Introduction

Each new year the first born baby on the island of Aruba is published in all newspapers

and social media, commonly known and named as the “baby of the year”. In 2016 this was no

different, however what caught the public's attention was the fact that the media published the

age of the mother (January 2016, Noticia Cla). The mother of this baby of the year was a young

girl in her early adolescent years, 15 years old to be exact. Not only was it shocking to see it

publicly, but it was also shocking to see that the father was more than 5 years older than the

underaged mother. If the media had not published her age, it would have been just another baby

of the year. However, because of the young mother’s age different perspectives, views and

arguments came to arise and were discussed in the community regarding teenage pregnancy.

When looking at the different social problems of any country, one can look at the

different causes and effects that they have on the country and how that impacts the social sphere.

Teenage pregnancy in Aruba is no different. There are different causes to teenage pregnancy

such as, a lack of education, accessibility to contraceptives amongst the youth, lack of parental

involvement and the taboo that surrounds sex and sexual education. Another problem that is

often overlooked in the Aruban community is the number of teenage girls that date older men

which may/can lead to teenage pregnancy. We term an older man pursuing someone much

younger than himself as “puyito killer”1 which is a common word in the language, Papiamento,

of Aruba. According to Stichting voor Volkshygiëne Wit Gele Kruis Aruba’s annual report

(2018), a teenage mother is a girl between the ages of 11 and 19. However, this project proposal

is based on pregnancies that occur amongst adolescents between the ages of 15 to 19. According

to WGK this is the age group were most teenage pregnancy occur.

1 Puyito killer is an expression used in Papiamento on Aruba


In this project proposal the following will be discussed: an introduction including social

planning and social development, needs/ problem statement, goals and objectives,

implementation plan, timeline, line budget, evaluation plan, sustainability and references.

Social Planning and Social Development

In order to create a sustainable solution for the phenomenon of teenagers getting pregnant

by older man/ puyito killer it is important to first define social planning and social development.

Social planning is defined as “rational problem-solving strategy aimed at combating community

problems” (Geerman, 2019, slide 7). When talking about social planning there are several

procedures to be taken into account. According to the dictionary of social work (Baker, 2004, p.

452), these procedures usually include designating some individuals or organizations to collect

the facts to identify and analyze the problem. An interview with Stichting voor Volkshygiëne

Wit Gele Kruis Aruba was conducted in regards to their department Teenage Mother

Consultant . This interview was conducted to gain knowledge and receive information on the

department and how they portray and combat the so-called issue of “teenage pregnancy” on the

island. The group also analyzed and assessed the agency by using the SWOT method. This was

to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the agency regarding the issue.

Strengths that WGK obtain are; a broad social network with other organizations and agencies

and a specialized department of TMC dedicated to teenage pregnancy. Furthermore,

opportunities that WGK obtain is the long standing history in the Aruban community with

exclusive services and prevention programs. The information obtained at Famia Planea

highlights the services and products provided for the teenage community of Aruba. For example,

products such as contraceptive pills, injections, morning after pill, spiral, pregnancy test,

condoms. In addition, they provide information through workshops on sexual transmitted


deseases prevention, sexual health, relationships and sex education. To compare the teenage

pregnancy phenomenon within the regional and international context a desk research has been

conducted. In addition, a small focus group with teenagers ages 15 to 19 will help determine the

factors in dating older men/ puyito killer. Furthermore, another procedure of social planning is to

delineate alternative courses of action and make recommendations to those empowered to

implement them. As future social workers it is important to familiarize with social planning

because it is one of the important methods of social work practice and to eventually bring change

to the community. Social planning is generically to describe the planning of social services or

efforts to improve the quality of life in communities. In addition, there are several basic

principles of social planning which where taken into account for example, citizen engagement,

community development, working together, inclusion, learning and action (Geerman, 2017, Slide

10).

Social development is “improving the well-being of every individual in society so they

can reach their full potential. The success of society is linked to the well-being of each and every

citizen” (New Nouveau, Brunswick Canada, 2009). Looking at these terms, one can conclude

that the aim of social planning is a set of values, techniques and skills to solve problems for the

betterment of the community and quality of life which relates to social development. “Values of

social planning and social development are to increase civic engagement and empowerment,

collaboration, increase effectiveness and efficiency of services” (Geerman, 2019, slide 11). An

example of recent social development is the housing project for teenage mothers at Casa Cuna.

Social development is a topic that several agencies on the island need to take into consideration

to bring development and sustainability in the community. By focusing on providing education

and information through intervention and prevention programs to the Aruban community on the


different aspects and the current issue of teenage pregnancy we can decrease the ratio of teenage

pregnancy on the island.

Profile requesting agency

‘Stichting voor Volkshygiëne Wit Gele Kruis’ was founded in Holland in 1923 by

Catholic priests. In 1942 it reached Curacao and by 1959 it was established on the island of

Aruba. The mission of the department Teenage Mother Consultant is to offer professional

support to teenage mothers between the ages of 11 and 19 through their vision of providing

prevention and curative interventions. The aim is to provide a safe and healthy environment for

the teenage mother and her baby. Wit Gele Kruis offers different services, such as home, parent,

child and maternity care, sexual education, dietician and courses and consultations (for future

parents). Most importantly, the department of TMC works specifically and only with teenage

mothers. The entirety of Wit Gele Kruis has a total of around 90 employees. Unfortunately,

Monique Giel-Labad is the only employee who works in the teenage mother consultant

department. This may bring issues when looking for possible personnel to work on the

implementation of this project. Despite that fact, there is a strong collaboration and support of

the TMC throughout Wit Gele Kruis and its director. That could be looked at as a strength when

looking for personnel for this project. The TMC department has strong community ties and

collaborative relationships with different groups in the community (such as different elementary

schools, Kiwanis Palm Beach, Fundacion Anti Droga Aruba, Famia Planea Aruba and Telefon

pa Hubentud). Wit Gele Kruis TMC department works with different school social workers when

regarding their participants/ clients. Furthermore, they collaborate with Voogdijraad, Department

of Social Affairs and Bureau Sostenemi, Consultorio pa Asuntonan di Adicion, Casa Cuna and

doctors. As far as financial track records, Wit Gele Kruis is a respected and reputable


organization throughout the Aruban community. In addition, WGK is best known in the

community. The above mentioned aspects are great value to this project because with a reputable

name and collaboration with other partners this project can gain more attention and value.

Organizations that have a collaboration with WGK can bring more awareness and spread the

information in the community. Furthermore, different organizations can partner up with WGK

and this can lead to a more valuable project for the community. One great example is the

collaboration between Kiwanis Palm Beach and WGK on the Sexual Education Program “Biba

amor”.

As mentioned above, due to the fact that Wit Gele Kruis is known in the

community of Aruba they have a broad social network and collaboration with different

organizations and agencies on the island. The department of Teenage Mother Consultant is the

the main department on the island that is working directly with teenage mothers and also

providing various services to the participants. Because of all the above mentioned reasons, we

believe Wit Gele Kruis Aruba and especially the department of Teenage Mother Consultant is

the best fit for this project.

Need Statement

The nature and extent of the need/problem

In 2018 there were 72 teenage pregnancies on the island and of the total pregnancies for

that year, teenage pregnancy made up for a total of 6% of all pregnancies. According to The

Situation of Children and Adolescents in Sint Maarten of 2013, girls reported that the main age

that they started to become sexually active were between the ages 12-15. Although this report

does not give statistics, it does state that girls become sexually active between 12-15 which can

lead to teenage pregnancy. According to the United Nations Population Fund of 2019, the


birthrate for girls from the Latin American and Caribbean countries between the ages 15-19 is 62

per 1000 live births in 2018. And finally, according to The Health of Adolescents in the Dutch

and British Overseas Caribbean Territories of 2016, a total of 13.7% of teenagers ages 15-19 that

were a part of this study (from the countries of Aruba, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands,

Montserrat, St. Eustatius, and St. Maarten) had caused or experienced a pregnancy. The median

age that teenagers started being sexually active was 13.2 years old.

Although Aruba has a lower ranking than most of these regional statistics when it comes

to the number of teenage pregnancies, globally according to the World Bank, Aruba is ranked at

number 71 with 23 per 1000 women between the ages of 15-19 becoming pregnant. Aruba is

ranked higher than countries such as Switzerland (3 per 1000), Japan & The Netherlands (4 per

1000), The United Kingdom (13 per 1000) and the United States (20 per 1000). Aruba is not far

off from the United States, but when taking the resources into consideration, Aruba lacks the

services in order to provide adequate care to this group. An indicator to this statement is that Wit

Gele Kruis is the only foundation in Aruba that has a section dedicated to working with teenage

mothers and working around prevention of teenage pregnancy. In October of 2019, Wit Gele

Kruis, together with Casa Cuna opened a Tienermoeder huis which is a housing project where

four teenage mothers are able to be housed and live independently with their child/children.

These are two examples of how their are not enough provisional services to aid this group

effectively.

Factors contributing to the problem or conditions

There are different contributing factors to teenage pregnancy in Aruba and according to

Morin (2019), some of these risk factors are a lack of sexual education in the school systems

starting at an appropriate age, the availability to contraceptives and peer pressure. Aruba’s


religious background could also be a contributing factor to the taboo around sex and teenage

pregnancy. According to the Wit Gele Kruis website, more factors leading to teenage pregnancy

in Aruba are for example, the free use of drugs and alcohol, negative home environment, wanting

to experiment and peer pressure (Wit Gele Kruis Aruba, 2018). Since 2000 Wit Gele Kruis

realized that there was an issue with teenage pregnancy on the island and they wanted to educate

the public on this issue (Wit Gele Kruis Aruba, 2018). Aruba is moving towards a more sexually

educated young population by introducing the program in 2018, Biba Amor, which is a sexual

education program given to students in elementary schools. Moreover, foundations such as,

Famia Planea have been providing information and contraceptives since 1971 (Famia Planea

Aruba, 2019).

Furthermore, the arising problem in the Aruban community is the presence of older men

dating younger women (in this case, younger women is being referred to as teenagers between

the ages of 15-19), which can lead to teenage pregnancy. In literature and spoken language, there

are different terms used to describe these types of men. In Aruba, there is a term in Papiamento

to describe an older person pursuing someone much younger than themselves. This term is

“puyito killer” which translates to chick killer. An older term used to describe older men

pursuing young women is “Chubato” but because puyito killer is more widely known in Aruba

nowadays, the term “puyito killer” will be used for this project.

In the english vocabulary, there are different terms to describe this phenomenon. Each

term differs in some way however, from its counterpart. An example of this are the definitions of

‘Loverboy’ and ‘Sugar daddy’. These two terms both refer to older men dating younger woman

but have a different meaning. The offical definition of loverboys according to Wit Gele Kruis

(2018) is “a man who, through seduction techniques, manipulation, blackmail and violence


grooms a teenage girl to work for him in prostitution and other illegal sectors”. The definition of

a ‘Sugar daddy’ is “a rich and usually older man who buys presents for or gives money to a

younger person, especially a woman, usually so that the younger person will spend time with

him and have a sexual relationship with him” (Cambridge Dictionary). While both of these terms

look at relationships between older men and young girls, this project is focussed on terms such as

‘Rhino men’ and ‘Manthers’. ‘Rhino men’ and ‘Manthers’ are older men who pursue younger

women (Davey, 2009). Both of these terms are forms of slang and are not used officially (they

are not found in most dictionaries). This may be part of the problem. The fact that there is not a

concrete word/ term for men who specifically target younger girls is alarming, considering its

frequency (in the Aruban context, it is the number of teenagers who became pregnant by men

much older than themselves).

According to the American Psychological Association dictionary, ephebophilia is a term

meaning “sexual attraction to and arousal by adolescent children, usually early adolescents who

are just going through puberty”. Not all older men who date younger women suffer from

ephebophilia, some men see dating younger woman as an opportunity rather than being a

psychological problem. A reason why this phenomenon is potentially dangerous is that young

girls from broken homes who are looking for love and affection are often easy target because

these girls are most likely to be miseducated and may have self-esteem issues that often results in

doing what the puyito killer requests. Lastly, teenage girls and grown men are in two different

stages in life (both mentally and physcially) and according to the U.S Department of Health and

Services (2019) “some older partners may want to have sex before an adolocent is

developmentally and emotionally ready”.


As above mentioned, in 2018 the number of births by teenage mothers was 72. The ages

of these teenage mothers range from 15-19. The ages of the fathers however started at age 17 and

went all the way up to age 52. There were 19 teenage fathers from the 72 (from the ages 17 to

19). That means that 59 fathers were not teenagers, and although the age of a 19 year old teenage

mother and a 20 year old father are very close, mentally these ages do make a big difference

because a 19 year old girl is far more developed than her male counterpart of 20 years of age. It

is also not certain at what ages these couples are pairing, meaning that one of the 15 year old

teenage mothers could have gotten pregnant by a man who was 52. This is a problem due to the

following reason; although it is not illegal for a girl who is 16 to have sex, according to the law,

she is unable to carry the responsibilities of being a mother (a legally adult of age 18 and up

would have to become the legal guardian the child). It is also an issue because these men are

looking for girls who are vulnerable enough to have sex with them. These girls are vulnerable

and uneducated about the true intentions of these men (they believe they are in it for love, this

also relates to the self-esteem and home and social environment of the teenage girl). By

informing the public, you are not only empowering young girls, but also those around them to be

vigilant and aware of the intentions of these men. It is also important that we educate young boys

that young girls and women should not be seen as sex objects rather they be seen as an equal

who cannot be won, overcome or manipulated for their own personal gain.

Looking at this phenomenon around the world and in the region there is a great concern

for the rise of underage girls in union with older men. UNICEF estimetas that by 2030 there will

be over 20 million underage girls in child marriage or union in latin america and caribbean alone

(2019). The concern with this issue is that girls under the age of 18 are at risk of being deprived

of immediate and long-term opportunities that ultimately affect the fulfillment of their rights


(Unicef, 2019). This phenomenon is relevant and demonstrates how the relationships between

olden men and younger girls are experienced globally and regionally. Furthermore, the

prevalence of this phenomenon is linked directly to adolescent pregnancy rates (Unicef, 2019).

Meaning a union or marriage between a girl and a puyito killer is almost certain when the girl

becomes pregnant. The danger of this trend is that like in Aruba, these young girls are at risk of

greater vulnerability because they often do not finish their education, are often doomed to

poverty and the continuation of depending on men are more likely to prevail. Other concerns are

the domestic violence, risk of sexual transmitted diseased, emotional and physical abuse Unicef,

2019).

Although most of the caribbean region and latin america has laws agianst child marriage

and or union, these are not effective. Main reasons for this may be cultural acceptance, poverty,

lack of education and failure to enforce the laws. Legally in Aruba, a marriage can only take

place between two consenting adults (ages 18 and older) according to article 1:31 lid 1 from the

Civil Code of Aruba (Burgerlijk Wetboek Boek 1, 2014, p. 89). However, there is the possibility

for a young girl to marry at the age of 16 according to article 1:31 lid 2 (Burgerlijk Wetboek

Boek 1, 2014, p. 89), if the teenager is already pregnant and has the consent of her parents. This

here is an issue in itself because it illustrates that the under age girl has already engaged in sex by

which she became pregnant. Most notable is data shows that most teenage pregnancies are

caused by an adult male. Most of the Caribbean and Latin America region has sign the children

rights treaty which includes the abolision of child marriage. However there is a continues

increase of child marriage and or unions. There is a general concern for relationships between

teenage girls and puyito killers around the globe as these have devastating effects on the

community and especially on the development of young girls.


Impact of the problemWhen an adult man has sexual relationships with teenage girls, getting pregnant is not the

only consequence. According to The World Bank (2012), “part of the negative outcomes

attributed to teenage pregnancy might be due to the absence of opportunities and the poor

educational and economic opportunities that teen mothers are facing”. They also explain that

when the mother is a teenager, there is a higher risk of maternal mortality, fetal death and infant

mortality. Another consequence of having a sexual relationship with a Puyito Killer is the chance

of getting a sexual transmitted disease because most of the time a Puyito Killer has been sexually

active for a long time already and has been exposed to these diseases. According to the Central

Bureau of Statistics (2013), “the males in the age group 25 to 44 years are the most affected by

syphilis followed by the age category 45 to 64 years”. They also explain that “males are

accounted for the most reported cases of gonorrhea” and that regarding the acquired

immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) which is caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV),

“more than 30 percent of the registered cases from 2000 to 2010 are born in Aruba and 70

percent of the cases are male” and that from the average of 35 new cases of Hepatitis B yearly

most cases are in males (p. 57 - p. 61). According to the American Pregnancy Association

(2019), there are sexual transmitted infections that are curable and some of them incurable with

the risks of infertility, stillbirth, premature birth, genital cancer etc. for the mother and can result

in being a carrier, pneumonia, blindness, congenital syphilis, mental and physical problems etc.

for the baby. Lastly, Sodi (2009) explains that teenage pregnancy is associated with distressing

psychological symptoms like loneliness, feeling stressed and inadequate, as well as being

associated with some depressive symptoms including sad feelings, suicidal thoughts and

irritability. He also explains that one could expect pregnant teenagers to be hampered in their

development when compared to teenagers who are not pregnant.


The impact of this problem does not just affect young girls, puyito killers can also affect

other individuals including the family members of both the Puyito Killer and the teenage girls

and the Aruban public in general. Although young girls being in contact with puyito killers does

not necessarily lead to teenage pregnancy, it is a risk factor that these young girls face and that

the Aruban public needs to be aware of. Teenage pregnancy as a result of a relationship with a

puyito killer can bring many issues, such as financial, mental, social and emotional problems.

Families may struggle financially to support a newborn, teenage girls may have to drop out of

school due to the lack of public resources and services, they may lose contact with friends and

family and become alienated. In addition, young mothers may also have to deal with postpartum

depression and because they are still developing, this may be even more severe for them.

Promising approaches for improved result

To tackle the issue of teenage girls getting pregnant by a puyito killer, the Aruban public

has to first understand what the problem is, what are the causes and what the consequences are,

which means that our community should be educated on this topic and how it looks like from all

angles. To start, parents should be informed and taught that they need to provide a safe and open

environment for their teenage daughters for them to be comfortable enough to be able to express

themselves to the parents so they feel validated and worthy, this way there is no need for teenage

girls to turn to older men to get the attention that is supposed to be provided by their parents.

Next to this, young boys should also be educated on how to treat girls and women as equal

human beings and not as sexual objects this way they will grow up with different norms and

values which will minimize the chance of them growing up and becoming a puyito killer.

Another approach would be exposing the puyito killers, let the community know that they exist,

what they do and who they are. Tackling the vulnerable group of young girls would also reduce


the chances of getting pregnant by puyito killers this is why teenage girls should be taught norms

and values at home and at school and they should also be aware of the consequences where a

teenage girl who got pregnant by a puyito killers could share her story to increase the awareness

of these teenage girls. Lastly, laws can be changed with disciplined strategies to men who target

these young girls, workshops could be done for the community which includes holding an open

conversation about what is happening within the community and shed light on why validation is

so important in both young boys’ and girls’ lives.


Goals and Objectives

When relating teenage pregnancy with social planning and social development it is

important to also evaluate the needs assessment to further come up with possible solutions. In

order to develop creative, sustainable and achievable solutions two goals were established, each

including three outcome objectives. In order to have developed these goals and objectives the

outcome objective template was used describing the goals, objective outcome, and the outcome

process. The outcome process will be specifically elaborating on the time, target, result, criterion,

and responsibility. Furthermore, with these goals and objectives, a project will be developed to

further create possible sustainable and creative changes in the Aruban community regarding

teenage pregnancy. In the following tables the two goals and outcome objectives will be

illustrated.

Sustainability

In order to make a project sustainable, there are three different aspects that have to be

taken into consideration which are, financial, community and organizational sustainability. The

aspect of financial sustainability looks at how a project will be able to be executed on a financial


level and also to be repeated in the future. The aspect of community sustainability looks at how

important and legitimate the project is for the community. Lastly, the aspect of organizational

sustainability looks at if the organization itself will be able to last for years (Wieners, n.d). To

analyze the project and its sustainability on these three domains, different factors need to be

taken into consideration. The factors are who is the main funding agent for this project and will

these agents be continuous funders or will WGK have to look for a funding means elsewhere.

Another factor that needs to be taken into consideration is the relevance of the topic within the

Aruban community. Does the topic have a relevant goals for future generations or is it a project

that can only be implemented once. And finally, will WGK last long enough to partner up with

other foundations to be able to implement and execute this project for years to come.

Looking at the financial aspect of any project can be the most difficult. There has to be a

guarantee agreement between the organization who is executing the project and the body who is

funding the project. There is a possibility to collaborate with other funding agencies such as

Viana Charity Foundation, Brenchi Arends Foundation or AHATA but in this case, Centro pa

Desaroyo Aruba would be the main source of income for this project. The main goal is to

educate the community and bring changed behaviors regarding this topic. Workshops and

courses will be implemented in the secondary schools of Aruba and this shows the importance of

this project and the positive input it has on the community of Aruba. That is why it is important

to have collaborations that may be able to cover costs and see the importance to implement this

project. This project could become sustainable through the financial collaboration of different

organizations/foundations but especially with Centro pa Desaroyo Aruba.

The community aspect of this project is evident. Analyzing the number of teenagers

becoming pregnant by puyito killer alone is a clear indication as to the importance of this project


for the Aruban community. The project will be able to be implemented for years to come.

Teenage pregnancy is a social issue that can be minimized but not completely eradicated. As a

society, Aruba can support the younger generation in their social and emotional development

towards maturity. The same statement can be applied to the social issue of puyito killer. The goal

is to create awareness and educate the Aruban public specifically teenagers, teachers and parents

in Aruba surrounding the dangers of dating a puyito killer, but more importantly why is it

important to love and respect yourself. These lessons and topics will always be important when

teaching young students, specifically girls throughout generations.

Lastly when looking at the organizational aspect of sustainability in this project, the

different agencies on the island that are directly involved in this project need to have an

established history and a deep rooted connection within the community so that they are able to

carry out the project for years to come. WGK has been serving the Aruban community since

1959 and Famia Planea has been educating the Aruban community about sex and providing anti-

conceptions since 1970. Both of these agencies have been established in the Aruban community

for over 109 years, are well trusted in the community and play a key role in their respective

fields. Neither of them show signs of closing, meaning they will be able to implement this

project on a long term scale.
