Oriéntame, Bogotá

The Orientame Foundation is a private, non-profit organization that since 1977 has been dedicated
to promote and protect sexual and reproductive health, with emphasis on prevention and comprehensive
management of unwanted pregnancy and its social consequences, as well as prompt and humane treatment
of incomplete abortion and the voluntary interruption of pregnancy (IVE) in the cases according to the law.

In Orientame we are convinced that by fully preventing unwanted pregnancy the risks associated with unsafe
abortions are reduced, thus, avoiding consequences of psychological, affective, social and economic type that
women face in the construction of their life project. For this reason, we have developed a broad portafolio of
services in sexual and reproductive health, of easy access to all women and couples, without distinction of
socio-economic status; considering that when a woman or couple face an unwanted pregnancy or an incom-
plete abortion, she requires immediate and responsible medical and psychosocial care regardless of any other
consideration.

We are pioneers and leaders in Latin America in the creation and implementation of a comprehensive care
model and a secure protocol that ensures the humane care and protection of women's sexual and reproduc-
tive health and rights. This model provides counseling, by quali?ed personnel, as one of the key components
for the accompaniment in informed decision-making.

We have created related support programs for unwanted pregnancies, and training and education programs
as a contribution to the improvement of public health, women's rights and social justice. Currently, we have
two centers in the city of Bogota and work in partnership with the Apoyame Foundation in Pereira, for the care
of women from the coffee region in Colombia.
