Roots of Health seeks to provide women, young mothers, and children with educational, medical, and nutritional support to enhance their health and the quality of their lives.

Healthy Pregnancies

A second priority of Roots of Health is our Healthy Pregnancy Program. If and when our clients do become pregnant, whether planned or unintended, we provide services to help ensure that the pregnancy will be the healthiest possible - both for the mother and the baby. These services include providing health information on nutrition and fitness, supplying the women with prenatal pills, and facilitating regular prenatal health screenings and check ups.

We believe that we are helping to create communities in which women, whether mothers or not, work together for their own health as well as the health of children. Healthier women and mothers lead to healthier babies and children, families and ultimately healthier communities. Thus while our programs are focused on women and children, we believe that we can ultimately have a real and lasting impact on whole communities.

In accordance with Philippine Law, Roots of Health does not fund, promote, or assist women seeking abortions.

Roots of Health supports women with life-saving information about how to protect their health and how to plan their pregnancies. Providing comprehensive education on reproductive health is an integral first step in preventing unplanned pregnancies. We believe that when women are equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary for controlling their fertility, the number of unplanned pregnancies will decrease, as will the need for abortions.
