It was January 17, 2025 when we posted our first project as part of the GlobalGiving nonprofit community. We are pleased to share with you that, through your continued support, 111 young women from the slums and poor communities in Metro Manila have been provided with the contraceptive implants that they need.
Jessica,16, is among the young women that went to one of our clinics for contraceptive implant. Getting pregnant was not part of her plans, but because she and her boyfriend had limited information on contraceptives, she did not know she was pregnant until she was six months into her pregnancy. After her delivery, she wanted to start using contraceptives, but she was warned that it would be risky. It was only when her baby was five months old that her mother accompanied Jessica to our clinic to get a contraceptive implant.
With your assistance, we hope that 2026 will give us the opportunity to sustain our work and have more young women achieve their reproductive needs so they can plan to continue their studies, find decent work, and have a better future for themselves and their family.
