We are excited to share an update on the successful implementation of our Preventing Children and Teen Pregnancy Program within the community. It's inspiring to witness children actively engaging with the wide array of topics covered, which fosters a comprehensive understanding of sexual education and ultimately helps in avoiding unintended pregnancies.
Thus far, a total of 1302 students ranging from 5th and 6th grade up to the last year of high school have directly benefited from our Program. This extensive outreach highlights the significance and impact of our initiatives in imparting crucial knowledge and awareness to the youth.
Through collaboration with government agencies dedicated to community welfare in this field, we have conducted workshops aimed at reducing the incidence of pregnancies in children and adolescents in this state, which unfortunately has the highest rate of pregnancies among children in Mexico.
At the core of our workshop sessions is the goal of raising awareness about the risks associated with pregnancy and contracting sexually transmitted infections. Furthermore, we provide a platform for children to critically examine cultural norms, challenging aspects such as sexism and promoting equality.
Without your support, it would be impossible to carry out this program. We are deeply grateful for acknowledging and endorsing the importance of implementing our initiative. Thank you, generous donor.
