Wuqu' Kawoq is an NGO that provides health care in the highlands of Guatamala to Kaqchikel-speaking patients in their language. Tomorrow, we have a big campaign with Global Giving to raise money for our project with midwives. Starting at 12:01am Eastern on October 12th, Global Giving will match any donations over $10 by at least 30%.
The money will be used to expand our work in the past with midwives to more broadly address issues related to human and reproductive rights. Specifically, we will offer expanded educational offerings targeted at sexually transmitted disease, STI, contraception, and sexual rights. We will couple this to offer free of charge screenings for HIV and sexually transmitted diseases as well as access to contraceptive methods.
