Social programmatic axis

Health and Well-Being

Healthy environments from the family to the community.

How do we do it

Healthy growth begins at home. We support families, mothers, and communities to prevent disease, improve nutrition, and ensure dignified care, with a strong emphasis on the first 1,000 days of life. We strengthen local health teams so that every child has a healthy, protected start filled with opportunity. Fortalecemos a los equipos de salud locales para que cada niña y niño tenga un inicio sano, protegido y lleno de oportunidades.

Lines of Action

SaludYCambioClimático

Health and Climate Change

We promote scientific research to understand the impacts of climate change on health, including respiratory diseases, allergies, and illnesses transmitted through water, food, and insects. This research supports preventive and adaptive actions that protect health and strengthen community resilience to environmental challenges.

AguaYSaneamiento

Water and Basic Sanitation

We promote household hygiene practices, access to safe drinking water, and the use of appropriate sanitation infrastructure to prevent disease and protect health. These actions contribute to better food utilization and healthy development, especially during early childhood.

IncidenciaEnLaDemanda

Advocacy for Access to Public Health Services

We promote awareness-raising processes so families understand and use available public health services, particularly maternal and child healthcare. At the same time, we strengthen the capacities of health personnel to improve service delivery in rural communities.

SaludSexualReproductiva

Sexual and Reproductive Health

We promote education and awareness around sexual and reproductive health. We support women during pregnancy to improve early access to and adherence to prenatal care and family planning, contributing to family well-being and the healthy development of young children.
