it is the beginning of reality.”

We are honored to have participated in the 2025 International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP). Over 3,500 people from 120 countries, all focused on Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR), gathered on November 1-6 in Bogota, Colombia, to share experiences and learnings about providing these life-changing services to those most in need. Equity through Action.

It's our time to grow.

Our Foundation's impact-driven services and focus on quality were recognized as a small foundation with a big impact. We have unmistakable growth potential and an efficient service delivery model which has directly improved the lives of 100,000+ women and families.

We’ve worked with Population Connection for years, it was wonderful to spend quality time with their great team.

Sharing a vision of reproductive health rights and empowering women with Vitala Global.

We thank our sponsor, the Bergstrom Foundation, for all that they do for sexual and reproductive health rights.

Let’s go!

Here is the reality: We have the in-country medical staff and infrastructure, plus the logistical teams, to progressively expand our family planning services into critical new areas of unmet need.

Important regional opportunities include:

Monagas state
Island of Margarita
Barcelona/Puerto La Cruz

Currently, these populations have little reliable access to family planning services.
