Founded in 2001, WINGS provides quality reproductive health education and services to underserved Guatemalans. Their holistic approach to reproductive health recognizes the barriers facing those in need and engages community members, including Indigenous women and girls, to bring their voices to the forefront of the decision-making process.
An estimated 40% of Indigenous Guatemalans live in extreme poverty. This affects girls in particular, who are less likely to receive adequate nutrition, or an education, when household resources are limited. This, in turn, perpetuates early marriage and high birth rates—in fact, Guatemala has among the highest fertility in the region. Filling the unmet need for modern contraceptive access can have an enormous impact on the lives of girls, women, and their families.
According to WINGS, they prevented 31,599 unintended pregnancies in 2022 alone. That’s with help from Population Connection’s Global Partners program, and people like you!
