Overview

Family planning is more than just access to contraceptives — it’s about empowering individuals, especially young women and men, with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to make informed choices about their reproductive health. In many Nigerian communities, myths, stigma, and lack of access continue to put women and girls at risk of unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions, and preventable maternal deaths.

Lumara Foundation addresses these challenges by creating safe, supportive environments where conversations about reproductive health are normalized, accessible, and community-driven.

Impact Goals

Our Family Planning & Education program is designed not only to raise awareness, but to create measurable change in communities. These goals guide our work and reflect the lasting impact we aim to achieve.

  • Reduce the rate of unintended pregnancies among adolescents and young women.
  • Increase awareness of reproductive rights and health in underserved communities.
  • Build a culture of informed decision-making around family planning.
  • Empower both men and women to participate equally in reproductive health conversations.

What we do

Empowering young people and communities with knowledge, resources, and support to make informed reproductive health choices — breaking barriers, reducing risks, and building healthier futures.

School & Community Outreach

We organize interactive sessions in schools and community centers to provide accurate, age-appropriate information about reproductive health, menstrual hygiene, and safe practices.

Contraceptives Access

Outreach programs also focus on demystifying contraceptive use, addressing misconceptions, and encouraging shared responsibility between men and women.

Peer-led Youth Education

By engaging peers, we ensure the message resonates and builds confidence among adolescents to make healthier choices.
