HEALTH SERVICES: WE PROVIDE FREE OR LOW-COST MEDICAL SERVICES TO WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY CARE. OUR CLINICS OFFER FREE HEALTH SCREENINGS AND CHECK-UPS, AS WELL AS DENTAL CARE. ACCESS TO MIDWIFERY GIVES LOCAL EXPECTANT MOTHERS A SAFE AND INEXPENSIVE PLACE TO RECEIVE CARE AND GIVE BIRTH.
