Summary

In the heart of Carmen de Atrato, men yearn for a chance to take responsibility for family planning off their wife's shoulders. But distance and cost stand as barriers to their dreams of a safer, sustainable tomorrow. With your compassion and support, we can grant 60 low-income men the gift of accessible vasectomies.

Challenge

In the heart of Colombia's Choco Rainforest, rural men are eager to receive vasectomies as an act of love for women and the environment. These men live in regions of unparalleled biodiversity, but also face challenges in accessing reproductive healthcare. The desire for vasectomies stems from a deep commitment to environmental conservation and a genuine wish to provide the best for their existing families.

Solution

Our initiative aims to make voluntary vasectomies accessible to all men, regardless of economic status or rural location. By providing free, comprehensive support, including transportation, accommodation, postoperative care, and the procedure itself, we empower them to actively shape their families' destinies. Eliminating the unmet need for reproductive healthcare is a top climate mitigation solution, as preventing unwanted pregnancies also reduces population pressure on critical ecosystems.

Long-Term Impact

Accessible vasectomies not only allows men to lift the burden of family planning off their wives and prevent unintended pregnancies but also allows them to channel their limited resources toward the children they already cherish. Preventing unplanned pregnancies can break cycles of poverty, benefit mother and infant health, and lessen the strain on limited natural resources.
