Dear John,

Empower to Plan is committed to partnering with organisations working to address the unmet need for family planning. Our new partner, the Turimiquire Foundation, is filling the gaps in Venezuela’s broken national healthcare system.

Over the past 25 years, Turimiquire has delivered 3,500 sexual and reproductive health and education workshops, reaching almost 70,000 participants. They offer logistical and financial support for contraception, including the provision of IUDs, implants, vasectomies and tubal ligations.

In the Turimiquire valley where they work, they are also spearheading agroecology, permaculture and reforestation initiatives. As part of their recipe for a thriving community, they recognise that family planning and environmental protection go hand in hand. 

Now, with Empower to Plan funding, they will be able to expand their services in comprehensive sex education, reaching seven different partner schools with 40 engaging workshops on sexual health, reproductive rights and contraception. 

Will you join us in breaking the cycle of poverty for Venezuelan families?

By engaging young people on reproductive health and family planning, we can support Turimiquire's vision of thriving communities and a better future for Venezuela.

Thank you,

Population Matters & the Turimiquire Foundation
