Healthy Pregnancies
We provide vitamins,
check-ups and delivery
services to help ensure that
our clients have the
healthiest pregnancies
possible.
Health Advocates
We train women in our
communities to be health
resources to their neighbors.
These women become our link
when our educational
programming in a site comes to
an end.
Family Planning
After providing information
and counseling to our
clients, many choose to use
a form of family planning.
We help them choose the
method that best suits them.
High School and College
We conduct education
sessions for students at local
high schools and universities.
The students learn about
health and human rights issues
through lectures, group work
and activities.
Community Women
We form and run community
based women's groups in
which participants are
encouraged to understand
their health needs in relation
to sexuality, reproduction,
and family life.
Community Teenagers
We run community teen
education classes that are
skills based and empower
young people to make
healthy, responsible
decisions.
