This is a non-profit civil association that was founded in 2007 and is integrated by an interdisciplinary team that seeks to contribute to the development and equity of vulnerable communities with a focus on bettering the health of mothers and infants, as well as the public health policies that go along with it. The NGO’s mission is to promote and stimulate self-healthcare - understood socially, politically, and culturally. The community intervention programs are based on the training of neighborhood allies and promoters in order to stimulate infant-adolescent growth and development, to improve self-care during pregnancy, to ensure access to a safe birth, and to empower women to contribute to their self-esteem and autonomy.

In the words of past interns:
“Great mission, inspiring team of all women devoted to making the world a better and more equal place for women. I learned a lot about the nonprofit world in health and what a possible career there could look like. I also enjoyed grant writing and benchmarking, and feel these are materials that the team can continue to use.” - Annie J., Fundraising and Research Intern, from Princeton University
