The Foundation opened its first family planning clinic in 1997 at the public hospital in the farming town of Cumanacoa. We now assist an extended network of public and private health care facilities in the Sucre state capital of Cumaná as well as Cumanacoa, and in the rural counties which surround them. The Foundation is in close touch with the medical staff at each site, and supplements family planning materials and personnel as necessary to maintain and enhance reproductive health services for the public.

Our partners include:

Rural public health facilities:

Urban public health facilities:

Urban private health facilities:

State government facilities:

One of our family planning clients undoubtedly speaks for many when she says, “The major reality in my life – my fertility – will no longer dominate everything with a new child every few years, Si Dios Quiere (Godwilling).”
