Programs
Community Program
It is an ongoing program that informs and empowers marginalized rural and urban women about sexual and reproductive health and rights through participatory workshops.
We work in 40 communities around Lake Pátzcuaro and the Purépecha Plateau. Since 2010, the program has benefited Indigenous and mestiza women through key topics such as self-care, body literacy, menstrual education,respectful childbirth, and prevention of infections and HPV.
We also work with girls and adolescents in the region to conduct comprehensive workshops where we develop activities related to sexual health, reproductive health, as well as guidance on sexual diversity and rights..
Midwifery Health Services
We have three spaces dedicated to women’s sexual and reproductive health care in Erongaricuaro, Patzcuaro, and Morelia, attended by Professional Midwives.
Guidance and education are essential components of the Midwifery model. Through this approach, women become informed and empowered to make responsible and healthy decisions for themselves and their families. In addition, we have two birth centers where women give birth in a dignified, humane, and enriching environment.
Educational Program
We offer a program in Professional Midwifery based on the Essential Competencies for Midwifery Practice established by the Midwives Alliance of North America (MANA) and the core documents of the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM). The program consists of three years of study and six months of social service.
Volunteering
We have a residency program for national and international volunteers interested in collaborating to promote and strengthen women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights and to work in rural communities.
We offer the opportunity to complete professional internships in various disciplines related to women’s issues and conditions: Midwifery, Public Health, Rural Sociology, International Development, Human Development, Gender Studies, and Social Communication
