Proven successful reproductive health, human development and basic health and wellbeing program that reduces unplanned pregnancies in communities in crisis. Experience in delivering training and support for this program and working with partners to deliver. We have a committed, capable and passionate staff and leadership team.
Data that supports the success of the program in developing countries.
A need for more funding to support our efforts to help us raise awareness of our preventative education and support the growth of the team to deliver and expand initiatives.
Need additional leadership to expand our growth.
Partnerships we are in negotiation with at the moment
Curriculum translation into Bengali - 6th spoken language globally
Funding and talent supporting our work. We are receiving increasingly positive feedback but need greater funding to meet the preventative educational needs of the communities. Lack of funding also means it's difficult to raise awareness through marketing. Keeping up with the growth.

- We have translated all materials into Creole and have a fully duplicatable educational system from the ground up in Haiti. - We have launched 40 new Instructors and partnered with multiple NGO's/Nonprofits to integrate our materials into Haiti. - We launched a pilot program into Bangladesh with the Amal Foundation which will bring our LETS curriculum to 55k women and their families over the course of the next 2-5 years. - We have revised and expanded our online LETS certification training program in English which allows us to partner with NGO's, nonprofits and individuals with a heart to educate and empower. - We educated over 1900 students in the South of Haiti alone, during covid and under significant trials of gangs, earthquakes, tropical storms and government shutdowns. We have dedicated staff who love the impact their work contributes to their communities. - We have collected pre and post class (over 3 months since their last class) data from our students which allows us to refine the program and demonstrate our impact. - We launched our first beta project of the Your Amazing Body curriculum for 9-11 olds with excellent feedback from parents, teachers and students.
We've had very generous donors, particularly dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation, GreenAir, Oil Magic, Essentials First and Eddleman and Eddleman as well as private donors. It has allowed us to create a robust and duplicatable model into both the developing and developed world communities. Our materials from all administrative to educational materials to marketing and outreach are now able to launch in any country or community outside of new translations. All materials were also professionally translated and graphically designed in Creole. Much of the Creole program was automated and the next round of funding will allow it to go live. We revised and created a robust website. We are strong and experienced and very grateful for the support we've been given to helps us prepare to have a larger global reach.
Our growth has been larger and faster than our funding can keep up. We needed funding to hire executive positions to specialize in particular Department needs. Some of the countries we work in have significant government and gang issues as well as natural disasters that have inhibited where we can travel. Our operation costs have exponentially increased to inflation such as gas, power and basic operational expenses. Water was scarce in our major fields which created challenges with production. Our staff have been personally impacted by incredible hardships, yet they endure and continue to expand our mission through their passion in this solution.
We train the staff of other organizations in the LETS curriculum. All organizations have a need for our training for their staff and/or organizations within their reach and families. We love extending our own mission by working with those who have established relationships of trust in their communities. We have a three day in person Instructor Training Program in Haiti and our Advanced Instructors prepare and launch partnering staff to integrate our 6 lessons on: reproductive and sexual health, family planning, personal safety and trafficking, having a healthy mind, body, spirit and environment into their programs. We offer this same training in English online, providing all materials and tools to orgs outside out in person locations. We partner with parents and individuals who want to become certified to bring our materials into their local English speaking communities and projects. Collaboration and unifying missions is an excellent way to grow together.
