Preventing Teen Pregnancy

In addition to education on sexuality, contraception, and sexually transmitted diseases to reduce teen pregnancy. Family Planning has positive results when the whole family is educated.   Sarahuaro is providing awareness of the problems and issues derived from unwanted pregnancies.  Through group therapies and individual counseling, we approach the cultural resistance to change the status quo of no communication about sexuality and of preventing abuse within the families. We do referrals to government agencies that help women and children and remain supportive of our beneficiaries. 

Having a space to express themselves as a parent, relieve stress from families, especially for mothers that do not wish their teens made the same mistakes they have made.  They want their children to concentrate in school, and not to stop because of pregnancy.   Mothers became cooperative and try to communicate better with their children so they are less affected by their circumstances. .  In Sarahuaro´s Family Planning Program we go one step further in developing healthy communication among family members.  Parental Guidance has a strong impact on preventing teen pregnancy.

We are grateful for your support!  

Teaching sexuality to kids to  5th, 6th, and 7th graders who lived in a one-room house, shared space, and beds with their parents and sibling, became a rich experience of feedback discussions on gender, trust, and self-esteem.  With the appropriate language and interaction, the classes cover sexual abuse, abortion, contraception,  interaction with drugs and alcohol, contraception, protection, condom use, abstinence,  Also sexual transmitted disease, and how to stick to a decision that ultimately will protect their lives and relationships

The Sarahuaro Family Planning Program keeps educating children and teenagers from impoverished areas of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.   We are grateful to donors who have contributed to this program.  Without your help, we couldn´t have reached our young with the appropriate tools and talent. Thank you!!
