Sarahuaro Family Planning Program’s goal is to reduce the unwanted pregnancy and sexual abuse of impoverished women in Los Cabos, Mexico.
Our purpose is to reduce unwanted pregnancy and sexual abuse by bringing awareness to the problems and issues that girls and women face every day living in poverty. We help them question their traditional beliefs and culture that diminished women. Our Family Planning Program not only provides sexual information, but human development classes set up in group- therapy, psychological discussions, and emotional support.
Once a week, our 53 participants that are moms, tutors, and their pre-teen girls, and boys have the opportunity to attend their concerns to our mental health therapist on a one-to-one basis where more in-depth and specific counseling is given at no cost. Counseling may include referral to a qualified government agency for Women and their families. This specific office attends to women under violence, providing, legal, social, and psychological support.
