Our Partner - CEMOPLAF Cajabamba in Cajabamba, Ecuador
CEMOPLAF, whose acronym translates into Medical Center Orientation and Family Planning, is an organization based in Cajabamba, Ecuador that focuses on sexual and reproductive health issues. Founded in 1974, it provides a wide array of sexual health services, including but not limited to: medical clinics, community distribution posts, family planning services, and general and pediatric consultations. It is partnered with GlobeMed at Indiana University and is currently working with them on a variety of projects related to fertility awareness, sexuality education, and HIV prevention in 21 communities.
Our Project - $1,500 to support projects related to fertility awareness, sexuality education, and HIV prevention
This year, the IU chapter is aiming to raise $1,500 to support CEMOPLAF-Cajabamba’s sexual and reproductive health education programs. Our funds will support hiring a theatrical director and playwright, who will engage CEMOPLAF’s youth volunteers in productions geared towards educating youth in rural communities. The funds will also go towards supplies for these productions, as well as transportation costs to help the volunteers reach remote and impoverished areas of the mountainous area of Ecuador.
