Description
WINGS, in conjunction with partner organizations, provides information, financial resources, and access to reproductive health services to low-income, rural and/or indigenous Guatemalans. WINGS enables Guatemalans to plan their families and access vital reproductive health services, thereby improving their reproductive health and their quality of life. Each is an important component in reducing poverty and helping families become, and remain, economically stable. This increases access to birth control and reproductive health care by mitigating common obstacles such as geographic isolation, lack of financial resources and education, and cultural barriers. WINGS works closely with Guatemalan NGOs and governmental health centers, conducting outreach in rural communities, subsidizing the cost of birth control methods, providing cervical cancer screenings, and holding seminars on reproductive health to rural, poor, and indigenous Guatemalans.
