About
CFHI participants have the opportunity to join Copprende and take part in this unique model spearheaded by Ecuadorian nonprofits. Participants learn about educational and outreach strategies used to educate populations from different age and socio-economic status regarding sexual and reproductive health. Each CFHI participant will collaborate with Copprende and local professionals to promote sexual /reproductive health knowledge. Participants will learn from local experts about project management and develop skills to teach and assist on education surrounding sexual and reproductive health issues. Participants will generate content and materials for activities and presentations, assist in field work, and gain a first-hand understanding of sexual health issues in Ecuador and the challenges of providing sexual education in a socially conservative, predominantly Catholic country.
