About this episode

Guatemalan Front for Child and Reproductive Health - Founded in 1999, Frente de Salud Infantil y Reproductiva de Guatemala (FESIRGUA) works with poor indigenous communities in the remote rural highlands of Guatemala to improve health, education, and overall quality of life, with a particular focus on child and reproductive health. FESIRGUA’s programs include HIV prevention, testing, and counseling; reproductive health education and service referrals; prenatal and infant health and nutrition education; and midwife training. All of FESIRGUA’s programs seek to build community ownership and participation for long-term sustainability and impact. FESIRGUA also works at the advocacy level to increase public awareness and affect government policy, and has collaborated directly with Guatemala’s Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance on past projects.
