Pregnancy & Maternity Education
The communities surrounding the Guatemala City landfill are home to thousands of teenage mothers. IG is committed to supporting pregnant teens as they begin to face new realities and providing important guidance as they prepare for motherhood. The program focuses on preparation for childbirth, prenatal & postpartum care, emotional wellbeing, breastfeeding, family planning, and parent-child relationship.
The program is centered around one intensive week of workshops followed by regular check-ins. Workshops are provided 6-8 times per year in different communities surrounding the landfill.
