Philosophy
We believe that:
The Family as the basic unit of society should be protected and
developed through policies and interventions.
It is the basic right of individuals to practise family
planning because through spacing and timing of births, family health
particularly that of mothers and children can be enhanced leading to improvements
in the socio-economic well-being of families.
In the provision of various services to different target
beneficiaries, we will not discriminate on the basis of sex, politics, race,
religion or status. Services will be
based on informed choice and no coercion will be used in the promotion of any
services.
Sustainable development is only possible when there is a
balance between growth and utilization of resources.
We are a voluntary organization whose strengths and assets
are our dedicated volunteers from all walks of life who contribute
significantly and selflessly to the ideals and operations of the organization.
