Preventing Teen Pregnancy

In Mexico, the incidence of pregnancies in girls aged 10 to 17 in Los Cabos is alarming. Baja California Sur has the highest rate of pregnancies, ranking this state as the top among Mexican states. Our Family Planning program aims to expand its Pregnancy Prevention workshops for children and adolescents to all possible regions of Baja California Sur. We have established a collaborative network with government agencies to implement our program in public schools in the poorest regions of Los Cabos, Baja California Sur.

On December 6th, the first school workshop, calendar 2023-2024 took place in collaboration with the Mexican Ministry of Health. The workshop reached more than 70 children, fifth and sixth-graders. Topics covered include Family Planning, Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections, and the Sexual and Reproductive Rights of Children. We offer free group and individual therapy, as well as guidance and referrals to government agencies that, under the law, oversee the rights of children and adolescents.

Dear donor, your contribution will help expand this program, ensuring that children and adolescents do not fall victim to abuse and suffer the consequences for the mother, the child, and the community. We greatly appreciate your contribution!

In the pursuit of fostering a safer and healthier community, Sarahuaro Preventing Teen Pregnancy remains committed to its mission of preventing teen pregnancy pregnancies and sexual abuse among impoverished women in Los Cabos, Mexico. As we approach the 2023-2024 school year, we are excited to announce our comprehensive plans that demonstrate our dedication to this cause. Collaborating closely with the health Mexican system's sexuality campaigns, we aim to amplify our impact and extend our reach, ultimately working toward a fair future for vulnerable girls and women of Los Cabos.

Our Family Planning Program goes beyond simply providing sexual information. We recognize that lasting change requires an approach that addresses not only the physical aspects of sexual health but also the emotional and psychological well-being of our participants. To this end, our program incorporates:

Human Development Classes: We believe in empowering individuals through knowledge. Our group therapy sessions offer a platform for participants to engage in open discussions about their experiences, challenges, and aspirations. Through these sessions, we aim to foster a supportive community where women can learn from each other's journeys.

Emotional Support: We understand the importance of emotional support, especially for those facing adversity. Our program offers a safe space for participants to express their feelings and concerns in individual therapy. Thanks to your donations, we can cultivate awareness, challenge cultural norms, and provide comprehensive support.   We believe that together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those we serve.
