- Description:
Mexfam is one of the most effective Family Planning Associations in Latin America.
They provide 8% of the national family planning supply despite the social and economic crises upsetting the country.
Mexfam works in 25 of the 32 Mexican states.
MEXFAM's mission is to provide quality family planning and reproductive health services and sex education.
We aim to reach marginal sectors of the population not served by the national programme, specifically poor people, young people and men.
Among MEXFAM's innovative programmes is the Community doctors programme, through which approximately 300 doctors provide family planning and other health services in rural and urban marginal areas.
MEXFAM has extensive programmes in schools and with youth groups to provide family life education through films, dialogue with parents and teachers, and other activities.
